Google’s Strategy to Empower LatAm Founders

Through this accelerator, Google is not only fostering innovation in threat detection, data protection, and generative AI applications for cybersecurity, but also strengthening the regional ecosystem. Participating startups gain access to dedicated mentorship, technical support, and Google’s AI infrastructure, tools that can accelerate their growth and scale their solutions globally.

“The AI for Cybersecurity program reflects our commitment to supporting founders who are solving some of the most pressing challenges in Latin America and the world,” a Google spokesperson noted. “By providing mentorship and access to our technology, we aim to help these startups make a lasting impact on the safety and resilience of the digital ecosystem.”

Building a Safer Digital Future

Over the next ten weeks, Google will work closely with the cohort to refine their products, enhance their AI capabilities, and prepare them to scale regionally and internationally. This initiative highlights the increasing relevance of cybersecurity innovation in LatAm and positions the region as a hub for AI-driven deep-tech entrepreneurship.

By backing these startups, Google is demonstrating that investing in local talent and supporting ecosystem growth are critical for fostering a safer, more connected digital world.
