LADP launches the first report about DeepTech in Latin America

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Latin American Dynamism Project’s new report: “Accelerating Deep Tech in Latin America - Opportunities, Challenges & Recommendations”. 

Drawing from data on 2,500 validated Deep Tech startups and insights from ~100 interviews with founders, investors, and policymakers, this report provides a roadmap for how Latin America can transition from a peripheral participant to a strategic global Deep Tech leader.

Key findings:

- Deep Tech funding in LATAM grew 6x between 2019–2023, but no Series B deals closed in 2024.

- Structural barriers—fragmented regulation, limited R&D, weak investor confidence—hold startups back.

- The region’s assets—biodiversity, critical minerals, clean energy, and STEM talent—can position it as a global force in frontier technologies.

- The report proposes actionable steps: harmonized regulations, Series A+ funds, scientific validation, global IP strategies, and a Pan-LATAM Deep Tech coalition.
