Latin America & Caribbean: frontier tech readiness index 2022, by country

According to a study that evaluates the level of preparedness for the adoption and development of cutting-edge technologies around the world, Brazil was the only country in the Latin American and Caribbean region that achieved a high level of readiness in this area. The term "frontier technologies" encompasses artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, blockchain, robotics, 3D printing, drones, gene editing, 5G, nanotechnology, and solar photovoltaics.

In 2022, the highest scoring nation in the region was thus Brazil, with 0.71 index points. A score of one indicates the highest level of readiness and zero, the lowest. This analysis also reveals that states such as Haiti, Nicaragua, and Honduras are some of the least prepared for these disruptive technologies in the Americas.
