Panama as a global financial and digital innovation center
With 4.5 million inhabitants and a strategic geographical position, Panama is already a hub of international trade and finance. Now, the country is using Special Economic Zones (SEZs) to attract investments and innovators from the blockchain sector.
The Panamanian government has taken significant measures to position the country as a leader in the digital economy, including a $11.5 million investment in the Panama Digital Gateway data center, inaugurated in June 2023. Together with the Tech Valley Free Zone, the goal is to attract 620 new technology companies, adding to the more than 2,000 companies spread across the country's over 20 free trade zones.
