Hispanic Star Takes Center Stage at Davos to Highlight Latino Economic Contributions

Hispanic Star has made its mark at the World Economic Forum in Davos for the sixth consecutive year, advocating for the essential role of the Latino community in economic development and technological innovation. This year's theme, 'Collaboration for the Intelligent Age,' is particularly timely, coinciding with significant shifts in the U.S. political landscape. The delegation, led by founder Claudia Romo Edelman, has taken a bold stance to ensure that Latino narratives are included in discussions that shape global economic policy.

Romo Edelman, who boasts nearly three decades of experience at Davos, emphasizes the necessity of Latino voices in these high-stakes dialogues. She notes, "As we step into a new era, Hispanic Star is championing a refreshed narrative for Latinos, emphasizing their undeniable economic prowess. With Latinos contributing approximately $3.6 trillion to the U.S. GDP and projected to drive 68% of labor force growth in the United States by 2030, it’s crucial that the narrative acknowledges Latinos as key economic drivers."

The Hispanic Star delegation actively engaged in two significant panels dubbed 'The Roadmap to Power' and 'How Tokenization Democratizes Financial Markets and Fuels Financial Inclusion'. The former, hosted in collaboration with A LA LATINA, included global leaders such as Bea Perez from The Coca-Cola Company, while the latter featured a discussion led by Hedera focusing on how financial technology can empower underserved communities.

A particularly prominent theme in this year’s discussions was the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various fields. Hispanic Star advocates for utilizing AI to promote data equity and combat misinformation. By ensuring Latinos play a pivotal role in the development and implementation of AI technologies, the organization strives to create a future where technological advancements reflect the diverse contributions of the Latino community rather than perpetuating harmful stereotypes.

Amidst global concerns and challenges, the message from Hispanic Star is clear: as the world rapidly evolves, it is imperative to foster inclusivity in economic conversations and technological advancements. Their participation at Davos serves as a vital reminder of the potential that Latinos bring to the table.
