Latin American companies packed to the rafters with innovation are visiting Cambridge Tech Week in September to engage with businesses at the cutting edge.
A 43-strong delegation is being led by Guillermo Ramírez Sneberger, President of the Cambridge Business Association, which inspires collaborations between companies in Latin America and the UK. Cambridge and Oxford are both important components of the initiative.
Key facets of the visit, including to CTW, will be captured for posterity by TV company CNN, whose Latin American team is accompanying the delegation.
Ukraine will also be on the radar via one key visitor to Cambridge Tech Week. One of Guillermo’s fellow alumni colleagues from Cambridge, Zekeriya Polat, is coming to CTW and has shared his vision for further global business progress with his company, Vision IT, which started life in now war-torn Ukraine.
In just three years, VISION IT has expanded into several projects that have become a multinational and multilingual asset for railcar maintainers and operators for monitoring the health of rolling stock, data processing and engineering using IOT. The company swiftly became an official solution partner with Intel globally.
VISION IT is currently in active use on intercity high-speed rail vehicles in Ukraine and on three major metro lines in Egypt. Two projects are under development in South Korea and a pilot program is underway in Turkey.
Polat said: “Choosing to study at Cambridge was a pivotal moment in my life. It motivated me to share my journey with others, leading me to become involved with organisations like Oxbridge Angels | Oxbridge Ventures and the Cambridge Business Association in Latin America, founded by my Cambridge classmates. As a managing partner at CBA, I’ve played a key role in connecting Latin America with opportunities in the UK’s Silicon Fen.”
