What if the future of global industries was being rewritten in Latin America?

In Latin America, supply chains, food systems, biodiversity and energy markets meet climate urgency and bold innovation.

At Climática, we gather the leaders who turn this pressure into opportunity.

Why attend

Not another conference — a catalyst.

CLIMÁTICA brings together senior corporate leaders, investors, and founders to explore how next-generation tech is reshaping industries in Latin America.

Direct exposure to solutions in supply chains, circularity, artificial intelligence and energy efficiency.
Expert-led interactive roundtables with executives, investors, and founders — designed for practical exchange, not panels.
Actionable takeaways: fresh strategies, market intelligence, and partnerships that support growth and resilience.
