Paula Garnero and Ana Basco, Directors of Insight LAC, participated last week in the seminar New Mechanisms and Opportunities in Triangular Cooperation between the EU and Ibero-America, organized by the Ibero-American General Secretariat (SEGIB) in Montevideo, with the support of the European Union, the Uruguayan Agency for International Cooperation, and other multilateral organizations.
📌 During the event, they presented the study Triangular Cooperation and Artificial Intelligence, prepared by Insight LAC, and shared key findings on the opportunities, risks, and challenges that artificial intelligence (AI) poses for governments across the region, as well as for the design of more inclusive, ethical, and development-oriented cooperation instruments.
Key stakeholders from the Ibero-American cooperation ecosystem took part in this high-level gathering, which provided an opportunity for strategic reflection and generated important themes for fostering collaborative initiatives.
✔️ In addition to being highly enriching, this dialogue platform enabled participants to share concrete experiences from ongoing projects and explore new forms of collaboration. Contributions from experts representing different countries highlighted the importance of strengthening local capacities and fostering strategic partnerships to address emerging challenges in the fields of AI and international cooperation.
The discussions underscored the growing role of triangular cooperation as a key tool for promoting innovation, sustainability, and digital transformation, while also encouraging greater coordination between regions.
We would like to thank SEGIB, AUCI, the European Union, CAF – Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean, UNDP Uruguay, OECD, the United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation (UNOSSC), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), FILAC, Red de Innovación Local – Uruguay, FLACSO General Secretariat, and all the teams that made this event possible.
At Insight LAC, we will continue working to connect the agendas of AI, development, sustainability, and international cooperation by contributing methodologies, roadmaps, and strategic vision for the challenges ahead.
❗ In the coming days, we will share the results of the study.
