At Sumalatam, we take great pride in our long-standing tradition of collaboration with esteemed international organizations. Over the years, we have had the privilege of working with prominent institutions such as The World Bank, the International Labor Organization, and now, the Inter-American Development Bank @IDB.  Our fruitful partnership with the @IDB, specifically focusing on our involvement in their program for the integration of Latin American and Caribbean women entrepreneurs in foreign trade and value chains.

At Sumalatam, we consider it a great honor to participate in the IDB’s program for the integration of Latin American and Caribbean women entrepreneurs in foreign trade and value chains. This program aligns perfectly with our core values and commitment to empowering women in business and promoting gender equality.

Our collaboration with @IDB has seen us engage in a myriad of projects aimed at facilitating seamless communication and global connectivity. As language and cultural experts, our contributions have been diverse, encompassing key areas such as translation, voice-over, subtitling, and desktop publishing (DTP). Each of these services plays a vital role in bridging linguistic and cultural gaps, ensuring that businesses and entrepreneurs can effectively connect and thrive on an international stage.

The Inter-American Development Bank and Its Mission
The Inter-American Development Bank, commonly referred to as IDB, is a vital international financial institution that aims to promote sustainable economic development and reduce poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean region. With a strong focus on fostering regional integration, the IDB plays a crucial role in supporting projects that have a positive impact on the socio-economic growth of the region.

Translation Services
Translation services are at the heart of many international collaborations. At Sumalatam, our team of proficient linguists and subject matter experts ensures that the content is accurately translated, preserving the intended meaning while adapting it to the target audience’s cultural nuances. Our expertise in translating documents, websites, and marketing materials has been instrumental in facilitating smooth communication between Latin American and Caribbean women entrepreneurs and their counterparts worldwide.

Voice-Over Services
In a globalized world, multimedia content is prevalent across various platforms. For Latin American and Caribbean women entrepreneurs looking to expand their reach, voice-over services have become essential. At Sumalatam, we boast a talented pool of voice-over artists capable of delivering compelling audio content in multiple languages. Whether it’s promotional videos, webinars, or e-learning modules, our voice-over services have amplified the voices of these entrepreneurs, making their message resonate with diverse audiences.

Subtitling Services
With the rise of video content, subtitling has become a critical component of effective communication. By providing accurate and culturally sensitive subtitles, we enable Latin American and Caribbean women entrepreneurs to engage with audiences from different linguistic backgrounds. Our meticulous subtitling services have played a significant role in breaking language barriers and fostering cross-cultural understanding.

Desktop Publishing (DTP) Services
Presenting information in an aesthetically pleasing and culturally appropriate manner is vital for success in foreign markets. Our DTP services ensure that marketing materials, brochures, and documents are professionally designed and formatted to appeal to the target audience. By paying attention to cultural sensitivities and design preferences, we help these entrepreneurs establish a strong presence in international markets.

As we look to the future, the partnership between Sumalatam and the @IDB Inter-American Development Bank promises to achieve even greater milestones. We eagerly anticipate the next phase of this exciting collaboration, where we can continue to contribute our expertise in language and culture to further empower Latin American and Caribbean women entrepreneurs.
