Why Attend
Animal Health Innovation Latin America connects animal health start-ups in Latin America with opportunities for financial investment and strategic partnerships.
Last year forced businesses to adapt, the way the region operates is evolving towards a more digitally- focused world. From better monitoring of animals enabling better and earlier treatment, to facilitating closer ties between industry stakeholders, Latin America holds a wealth of opportunity for businesses in both petcare and livestock.
At Animal Health Innovation Latin America we work closely with the animal health community in order to be able to provide a platform for building partnerships and making critical connections.
