EDITOR’ S NOTE
Welcome to the latest edition of Intelligent CIO LATAM.
This month we feature the Land Institute of Pará( ITERPA), Brazil, and its work with YouX, a Brazilian company specialising in the development of solutions that integrate geotechnology and AI.
Together, they have accelerated the issuance of property titles from eight years to 23 days with SICARF, a fully digital land regularization platform – the result of a partnership matching ITERPA’ s knowledge and YOUX’ s technological expertise to integrate the regularization process from initial registration of a property to the issuance of title.
On p14, Bruno Kono, President,( ITERPA), outlines how the partnership allows the cross-referencing and analysis of social, environmental and land data to identify overlaps and non-conformities that underlie safer and more agile technical decisions.
Market analysis from IMARC Group shows the region as transitioning from early adopters to active innovators with major economies like Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Chile pushing national AI strategies and digital infrastructure investments.
Walmart Connect Mexico – one of LATAM’ s leading retail media networks – is powering its omnichannel retail media offering with AppsFlyer. Read on p32 how that is, in turn, empowering the retailer’ s brand partners with secure data collaboration and advanced activation capabilities.
Two new reports offer specific analysis of the LATAM AI market at the start of 2026.
That’ s just a sample of what’ s inside – enjoy the read.
On p24, a Salesforce study shows Brazil leads AI readiness in region – placing Brazil 13th out of 16 countries in overall AI maturity with a score of 18.0 points – leading the three LATAM markets analysed ahead of Mexico( 15.3) and Argentina( 14.1).
