Georgetown Americas Institute

The Georgetown Americas Institute’s Latin America in the Global Economy (LAGE) program is a multiyear initiative to advance research and promote dialogue within the academy and with governments, the private sector, and civil society around the most critical economic challenges facing the region. A critical focus will be the emerging position of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) in a new global economic trade architecture characterized by deep structural changes.

Latin America: Untapped Opportunities in Global Value Chains

In 2023 with the support of CAF - Development Bank of Latin America, the LAGE program initiated a one-year research effort "Latin America: Untapped Opportunities in Global Value Chains." This program brought together a group of highly recognized LAC experts to address knowledge gaps in existing research and ensure its relevance for policy discussions and private sector strategies.

In 2025, GAI partnered with the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) and CAF – Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean to launch a groundbreaking research collaboration, "Global Value Chains in the Era of Industry 4.0 in Asia and Latin America," exploring how Industry 4.0 technologies are reshaping GVCs in East Asia and Latin America.
