Last month, I had the privilege of participating in two major events in Lima: LimaTechWeek and OktoberINVESTfest, where I also served as a panelist representing The Ganesha Lab.

It was inspiring to witness the strength and momentum building in Peru’s venture capital ecosystem. The country’s potential is undeniable, with its rich resources and significant room for growth. While the biotechnology sector still lags behind other regional powerhouses, Peru is rapidly catching up. This progress is driven by robust research centers and a strong agricultural base, which form the foundation for several promising biotech startups with innovative proposals.

As Peru continues to strengthen its position in venture capital and biotechnology, it’s exciting to imagine the possibilities for both the country and the broader Latin American region. The collaboration and innovation on display at these events underscore the region’s potential to become a global leader in entrepreneurship and scientific development.

A special thanks to the hosts and organizers of these remarkable events, and, of course, many others whose contributions made these events unforgettable.

The future looks bright for Peru and Latin America. We look forward to seeing how the region continues to thrive!
