OUR VISION

We understand integration and trade as essential pillars for the development of Latin America and the Caribbean. We seek an increasingly integrated and economically active region, capable of achieving economic and social development that is sustainable and inclusive. Through technical and financial support, we strengthen both the regulatory framework or "software", and the infrastructure or "hardware" of integration throughout the region.

CURRENT FOCUS AREAS

We implement projects that promote regional cooperation; from the creation of border infrastructure to the management of regional public goods and the negotiation of treaties. We create knowledge from research and business statistics. We analyze and recommend public policies on export promotion, investment attraction, and trade opening and facilitation. We also develop skills in the public sector, support the private sector by accompanying SMEs that wish to export and join global value chains, and we facilitate networks and events that seek exchange between entrepreneurs and public officials.
