RedCLARA announces the launch of DeCLARA, a new podcast that gives voice to the people, ideas and partnerships driving the digital transformation of Latin America and the Caribbean.

RedCLARA presents DeCLARA, a new podcast that gives voice to the people, ideas and partnerships driving the digital transformation of Latin America and the Caribbean.

At a time when connectivity and cooperation have become engines of development, DeCLARA emerges as a space to listen to those who are making the region’s digital transformation possible: leaders, researchers, technologists and visionaries who connect knowledge, institutions and continents.

“DeCLARA was born as a space to hear the voices that build digital collaboration. We want people to understand what happens when cooperation turns into opportunity. It is not only about technology, but about people, ideas and alliances that are redefining the role of Latin America and the Caribbean in the digital world,” said Luis Eliécer Cadenas, Executive Director of RedCLARA.

With a warm, narrative and dynamic style, DeCLARA explores the stories behind the region’s major advances: from the direct connectivity between Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean and bi-continental projects, to the innovations that bring science, education and technology closer to more communities.

Through its first episodes, the podcast invites listeners to discover how connectivity becomes action and how regional collaboration is driving a new cycle of knowledge-based development. Topics include the expansion of digital infrastructure and regional collaboration (BELLA II), the innovation highlighted at the TICAL2025 conference, the perspective of Chile’s National Centre for Artificial Intelligence (CENIA) on the future of AI, and BELLA II’s testbeds that enable experimentation with disruptive technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.

“With DeCLARA we aim to amplify the voice of digital cooperation and connect scientific and academic communities with new audiences. It is a format that allows us to humanise technology and showcase the real value of collaboration between Latin America and Europe,” added Ixchel Pérez, Communications Officer at RedCLARA and producer of the podcast.

The first season of DeCLARA will be available from 21 October, initially on Spotify. Each episode combines exclusive interviews, analysis and stories that illustrate how digital cooperation is advancing innovation, education and scientific growth across the region.
