Bridging the Gap: Tech for Impact in Latin America and Beyond

​Hosted by Digital Collaborative, Catalyst Now | 2-Hour Strategic Roundtable

​How can we unlock the power of technology for social good—and make it stick?

​Join Innovation Bridge for a high-level, 2-hour strategic roundtable convening senior leaders from tech, philanthropy, civil society, and social enterprise to confront the systemic barriers slowing tech adoption in mission-driven organizations. With Latin America as the regional focus and climate tech for social good as a central theme, this conversation will lean into the energy of COP30 to spark lasting solutions.

​What We’re Building:
Innovation Bridge is creating the world’s first connected network of tech-for-impact innovation hubs—starting with key cities in Latin America and scaling globally. This roundtable is a critical milestone in shaping how the network forms, who it serves, and what problems it solves.

​Topics We’ll Explore:

• ​Technology literacy and capacity gaps in social impact organizations

• ​Breaking free from unsustainable 1-year grant cycles

• ​Reframing tech as a mission enabler, not a backend expense

• ​Building cross-sector partnerships that last beyond the pilot phase

• ​How to leverage climate momentum at COP30 to support scalable, tech-driven solutions

​Who’s at the Table:
A curated group of 10–12 senior decision-makers from tech companies, social innovation orgs, funders, and ecosystem conveners ready to move from ideas to action.

​Expected Outcomes:

• ​2–3 pilot partnerships between tech providers and social enterprises

• ​Strategic alignment on barriers and breakthroughs in the Latin American context

• ​Onboarding into the global Innovation Bridge network

• ​Agreement to reconvene every quarter to sustain momentum

​This isn’t a panel. It’s a problem-solving table. If you're building, funding, or scaling tech for good, your seat is waiting.
