At the Emerging Markets Network LLC we focus on two main areas of expertise:
Knowledge Broker & Entrepreneurship and Public Policy design for sectors
related to economic productivity.
Our Services
Knowledge Broker & Entrepreneurship
We act as match makers between our clients – who are looking for any specific information in Latin America - and industry and policy experts in the region, that will give them the information they need to support their business or policy decisions.
Our team understands client’s needs and pairs them precisely with the appropriate expert in record time. We organize one on one telephone and zoom calls, in person meetings and personalized informational gathering trips. Compliance is a key pillar of our business.
For our entrepreneurship clients, we believe it’s crucial to understand the fundamentals of their business first, to help them build their models and forecasts as well as their business plans and marketing strategies, so that they can secure funding.
Public Policy Design
Governments and institutions need to address issues that are tougher and more urgent than ever before. However, most of the time they lack the expertise and time to address those issues because of the burden of day to day work.
We work hand in hand with our clients to design interventions applying creative problem solving and direct human centered design, in service of more equitable and efficient outcomes.
In order to advance policy goals, we evaluate risks and opportunities, setting up short and long term priorities to shift the policy debate.
We have worked in Latin America, Europe, Africa and Central Asia.
