Explore FinTech opportunities in Chile - 7-9-21 (webinar)
FinTech West is delighted to be supporting and taking part in a Department for International Trade (DIT) webinar on Tuesday 7th September, co-hosted by Business West in partnership with the British Chamber of Commerce in Chile.
Chile is considered one of South America's most stable and prosperous countries, and is an ideal gateway to South America for FinTech firms looking to test the Latin America market.
As has been well documented, the UK is globally recognised as a leading FinTech hub, accounting for more than 10% of the global market. The Kalifa Review, published earlier this year, named Bristol & Bath as one of the top 10 FinTech hubs in the UK, highlighting the wider opportunity across the south West.
The outlook for Chile’s FinTech sector also appears bright. Today, it is the third-highest ranked FinTech ecosystem in Latin America after those of Mexico and Brazil. Within the next few months lawmakers are due to start debating a FinTech bill that establishes a regulatory framework, which could help spur investment and innovation. Associated bills concerning data protection, cybersecurity and financial portability are also in the pipeline. On top of this, Chile is expected to emerge relatively unscathed economically from the health crisis compared with the other leading FinTech hubs in Latin America.
Business West and Britcham Chile have worked in partnership for some time in support of South West companies. At the event they will explain why Chile is a strong export opportunity, as well as advising on a range of subjects including business Risks, Tariffs & Regulations, and Taxation.
