In the panel "The Importance of an Integrated and Connected Latin America", moderated by Mariana Rodríguez Zani, director of Convergencialatina, representatives of Latin America agreed that the economy is digital and regionalism should be promoted over bilateralism. One of the most emphatic was Sebastián Rovira, ECLAC's Economic Affairs Officer, who called "to take advantage of the specializations of each country, to leave the mercantilist vision of integration and to deepen in science and technology, productive development, creation of regional companies. Beyond political dialogue, it is important that it be done from the bottom up".
