Global interest in the emerging entrepreneurial economies of Latin America has been on the rise.

Each of the four has attracted Endeavor to establish local offices to accelerate the growth of local high-impact entrepreneurs.

And of course, Brazil hosted this year’s Global Entrepreneurship Congress (GEC).
