After successful events in Mexico City, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, and Bogotá, “Kamay Code” is set to arrive in Córdoba. Organized by Kamay Ventures, the first multi-corporate regional venture capital fund, this event focuses on innovation and business development. Leading consumer goods companies such as Coca-Cola, Arcor, and Bimbo are among its key partners.
Kamay Code aims to connect entrepreneurs and corporations with Latin America’s innovation ecosystem. Scheduled for April 9 at the Convention Center in the Complejo Ferial Córdoba, the event is free to attend, though registration is required due to limited availability.
According to Gabriela Ruggeri, Managing Partner of Kamay Ventures, “Kamay Code has become a space where groundbreaking ideas and strategic alliances emerge, shaping the future of business in Latin America.” She further emphasized that Córdoba was chosen as a venue to highlight the talent and innovation stemming from Argentina’s interior regions.
A Transformative Experience
Kamay Code is promoted as a “transformative experience,” designed exclusively to connect entrepreneurs with high-level executives. The event offers a platform to explore business opportunities, establish strategic alliances, and discover emerging technological trends shaping the industry.
This year’s edition will focus on three key areas with exponential growth potential:
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) in AgriFoodTech
- AI in Logistics
- AI in Retail and Point-of-Sale Technologies
According to a Markets and Markets report, the AI market in agriculture is expected to grow from $1.7 billion in 2023 to $4.7 billion by 2028, highlighting the vast business opportunities in this sector. Additionally, a study by NTT Data and MIT reveals that AI adoption in logistics across Latin America has risen from 55% to 70% in recent years, reinforcing its role in optimizing supply chains and boosting business competitiveness.
Networking, Training, and Proof of Concept Sessions
Kamay Code brings together local and international leaders in an environment fostering networking and learning. The event features workshops, roundtables, fireside chats, and pitch sessions for startups seeking to validate their ideas and scale their businesses through Proof of Concept (PoC) collaborations with Kamay Ventures’ corporate partners.
This year, 150 startups have registered for the pitch session, competing for the opportunity to develop a PoC and accelerate their growth with industry leaders’ support. Additionally, for the first time, the event will include one-on-one mentorship sessions, offering 15-minute exclusive meetings with corporate experts who will provide strategic advice to entrepreneurs.
Antonio Peña, Managing Partner of Kamay Ventures, emphasized the event’s significance, stating, “We invite entrepreneurs, investors, corporate leaders, universities, and institutions from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and beyond to participate. We believe that the best ideas emerge from these exchanges, driving innovation across the region.”
