Panama to Host Latin America's Most Important Blockchain Event

From April 22-24, 2025, Panama Blockchain Week will bring together global leaders, innovators, and blockchain technology experts at the Panama Convention Center.

Blockchain in Panama is experiencing accelerated growth and presents significant potential for both the business and consumer sectors.

These technological advances led the country to climb to 96th place in the Global Digital Asset Adoption Index in 2023, advancing seven places compared to 2022. Furthermore, it is positioned as the fifth Latin American nation with the highest number of ATMs linked to blockchain solutions of this type, with 29 in total. This represents significant growth and renewed interest in transforming Panama's digital economy.

Various factors, such as its strategic vision, tax incentives, citizen security, political stability, and a growing infrastructure, have made the country the ideal destination for global businesses. In an era where competitiveness is key, the country has consolidated its potential to connect the world through a collaborative ecosystem that seeks to establish the nation as a hub for blockchain innovation and financial technology.

In response to the growing need to incorporate blockchain technology into the region's business and financial development, Panama Blockchain Week is positioned as the premier event and catalyst for exploring its transformative potential for business and the digital economy.

From April 22-24, 2025, governments, global leaders, technology experts, and blockchain enthusiasts will gather at the Panama Convention Center to address topics such as innovation in data management, digital security, its applications in various fields, and investment opportunities in a collaborative environment.

“Panama Blockchain Week is a bold declaration of the country's potential to become the blockchain epicenter of the Americas. This event will not only connect global leaders but will also consolidate Panama as a fertile ground for collaboration between traditional and emerging industries,” said Fernando Molina, Director of Blockchain Territory and part of the organizing committee.

With a strategic focus on key markets such as Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, and Central American countries, Panama Blockchain Week 2025 aims to transcend borders by fostering collaboration between traditional and disruptive industries.

The program includes exclusive initiatives such as Investor's Night, an opportunity for startups to present their projects to prominent investors, and a training session designed to enhance attendees' practical knowledge.
