| Description: |
The La Idea is a program designed to support Latin American entrepreneurs based in the US and the Latin America with resources that will help them cultivate and grow innovative businesses and startups that will generate employment and economic growth throughout the Americas.
Past La Idea activities include La Idea Business Pitch Competition aimed at helping to provide Latin American Start up and Small Business with funds to promote growth and innovative ideas, and La Idea Incubator Program that supported companies from Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru under the auspices of U.S. observership in the Pacific Alliance.
The success of the 1st round of La Idea Incubator Program prompted the U.S. Department of State to expand it to 100 additional companies from the Pacific Alliance and 100 companies from Brazil. Participants from these countries will take part in a two week program at host business incubators around the US to learn about industry, international business and to network with peers and establish commercial contacts. |
