Introduction:
In the fast-paced world of technology and artificial intelligence (AI), collaboration with the right talent is crucial for success. While talent can be found worldwide, one region that has been gaining recognition for its exceptional pool of engineers is Latin America.
At Synergise AI, we have found that working with Latin American engineers offers many advantages that make them an ideal choice for our AI projects. In this blog post, we will delve into just a few of the many reasons why Latin American engineers are a valuable asset to our team and the AI industry as a whole.
Our Top 5:
1. AI Expertise: A Growing Hub for AI
“Latin America is fast emerging as one of the world’s most exciting tech hubs,” per World Finance. Cities like São Paulo, Mexico City, Santiago de Chile, Buenos Aires, and Medellín have seen a surge in AI-related initiatives, with many U.S. companies establishing hubs in the region. This has created a robust workforce that is not only educated but also experienced in AI technologies.
2. Time Zone Advantage
Time zone alignment is a significant advantage of working with Latin American engineers. The region's time zones are generally closer to those of North America, making real-time communication more feasible. This allows for face-to-face scrum standup meetings at convenient times of day, seamless real-time messaging through platforms like Slack, and simplified travel back and forth for important meetings and collaborations.
3. Language Proficiency
Language can be a potential barrier in international collaborations, but many Latin American engineers are proficient English speakers, making it easier for primarily English-speaking companies to communicate quickly.
4. Reliable Infrastructure
Throughout the region, there is an upward trend of more and more access to reliable infrastructure, which is vital for AI development.

5. Bring Diverse Perspectives To The Table
Countless studies have been conducted and proven how more diverse companies lure better talent and improve their decision-making, customer orientation, and employee satisfaction than nondiverse companies. (Mckinsey) Additionally, according to the World Economic Forum, "A Boston Consulting Group study found that companies with more diverse management teams have 19% higher revenues due to innovation." (Forbes) Leveraging talent from a melting pot of cultures, languages, and experiences will help improve your business innovations, decisions, productivity, and performance.
Conclusion:
In the world of AI, choosing the right talent can be a game-changer. As the region continues to thrive as a hub for technology and innovation, collaborating with Latin American engineers is a strategic decision that can lead to the success of AI projects and the growth of the AI industry as a whole, making them an ideal choice for Synergise AI and many other businesses in the AI industry.
