“Latin America and the Caribbean are generally not well known for innovative business concepts, especially in software and services”, said Kirk Laughlin, Editorial Director and Founder of Nearshore Americas. “But that is rapidly changing as we see more and more talent rising up in the region to create, innovate and leverage the power of the digital economy. Our Red Hot Startups program is designed specifically to shine a light on these talented innovators”.

According to Nearshore Americas, the purpose of the new program is to give the best new companies in outsourcing more exposure, and a platform from which to market their services. To nominate your firm or for more information, contact Senior Editor Tarun George at tarun@nextcoastmedia.com
