With more than thirty years of technology experience in Latin America, Octavio Camarena has been instrumental in Mexico’s digital transformation. He introduced real-time financial information platforms in the 1990s and promoted global SaaS adoption in the early 2000s. Currently, he is focused on positioning Mexico as a prominent digital innovation hub at the intersection of cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and global connectivity. At Atlantic Convergence 2025, Octavio highlighted the growing significance of Latin America, and especially Mexico, within the transatlantic digital ecosystem.
What does digital convergence across the Atlantic truly mean, and why is it a critical theme for the industry right now?
Convergence means functioning as a unified ecosystem. Mexico plays a key role in the Northern Atlantic region, while Brazil anchors the Southern Atlantic. Together, these regions can drive innovation, digital services, and the advancement of AI-driven knowledge.
To realize this vision, collaboration among data centers, carriers, cloud providers, and GPU manufacturers is essential. The Atlantic region presents a unique opportunity to create a cohesive environment that facilitates seamless cross-border innovation and knowledge exchange.
