📋 Tender Overview
To promote the acceleration and maturation of companies in the country, Huawei presents Spark, a program that seeks to encourage the creation and growth of startups in Peru, as well as help them exploit their capabilities in their different stages of development.
In a joint effort between Huawei and the Mexican Agency for International Development Cooperation (Amexcid), the Spark program aims to expand technological access opportunities for start-ups to have resources in the cloud. In the promotion of this service, the company has destined an investment of 1.6 million dollars.
"We are convinced that the use of the cloud in newly created companies will enhance the creation of more products, which will become new and better solutions that boost the country's economic and social development," said César Funes, Vice President of Institutional Relations of Huawei in Latin America.
Startups wishing to participate in the Spark program must apply to the call issued by Huawei, which will be open until August 31. In this edition, the objective is to support 139 newly created companies in the four countries that make up the Pacific Alliance: Mexico, Peru, Chile and Colombia.
Those who are selected will be awarded a voucher in the Huawei cloud and will have access to mentoring and training.
In that sense, the president of Huawei Cloud in Latin America, Fernando Liu, stressed that the goal is to continue collaborating with startups from Latin countries so that, tomorrow, these companies are the ones that lead the future.
For his part, the director of Academic Exchange of Amexcid, Eduardo García Lima, said that this project seeks to integrate regionally the countries that make up the Pacific Alliance.
"With this type of calls, we concretize the regional integration of Mexico, not only abroad, but also taking advantage of all the resources contributed from the private initiative, merging efforts between the public sector and Huawei, in order to take it to another level with greater momentum," said the executive.
For his part, Omar Arab, Chief Development Officer of Huawei Cloud, indicated "how important it is to support the entrepreneurship ecosystem in the region, because in that way the economy of the countries is also accelerated."
The Spark program was originally launched in Asia-Pacific and is currently in the Latin American market. The plan is, according to the company's executives, to reach Africa, Europe and the Middle East by 2023.
