The opportunity

Ecuador isn't short of products. It's short of connections.

Companies in the region rarely stall because their product fails. They stall because they never reach the buyer, the route or the network.

An initiative implemented by Fundación Misión Ecuador with the support of the U.S. Embassy in Ecuador. One month, three venues, one corridor of innovation, trade and sustainability.

The United States inspires.

The network of U.S. Government exchange alumni and the support of the U.S. Embassy in Ecuador.

Ecuador connects.

Guayaquil brings together the Lab, the three clusters and the business connections.

Galápagos proves.

A living lab of sustainable tourism, connectivity and conservation.

Latin America builds.

Guadalajara projects the network toward Mexico and its productive ties with the United States.
