What is Latam Projects Hub
The LATAM Projects Hub platform is sponsored by ALIDE and IDB. The platform seeks to bring together the most relevant infrastructure and energy opportunities in the region open to private investment.
Background:
IDB and ALIDE joined efforts with Mexico Projects Hub (Banobras) and The Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) to develop a regional hub bringing together the most relevant infrastructure and energy opportunities pipeline open to private investment in the region. The goal was to combine the best practices from the national platforms created by both institutions into a simple and easy-to-navigate regional hub. The hub leverages its participant’s experience in implementing innovative platforms that provide detailed and up-to-date information to investors. This initiative is expected to grow with the addition of other Latin-American countries soon.
Platform Objectives:
- Provide international investors with up-to-date information on opportunities throughout the Latin American region, allowing them to prepare for the upcoming bids.
- Link to national or development banks’ platforms to obtain project information regarding their scope, investment, key milestones and dates, bidding processes information, and sustainability analysis. Allow investors to monitor the regional infrastructure market and search for synergies inherent to a multi-market regional portfolio.
Who we are
This platform is sponsored by IDB and ALIDE.
The mission of the Inter-American Development Bank is to improve lives. Created in 1959, the IDB is one of the main sources of long-term financing for economic, social, and institutional development in Latin America and the Caribbean. The IDB also conducts cutting-edge research projects and provides policy advice, technical assistance, and training to public and private clients throughout the region.

Founded in 1952 and currently associated with the Ministry of Economy, the BNDES is the federal government’s main instrument to promote long-term investments in the Brazilian economy. Its actions are focused on the socio-environmental and economic impact in Brazil. The bank offers special conditions for micro-, small, and medium-sized enterprises, in addition to social investment lines for education, health, family agriculture, basic sanitation, and urban transportation. During crisis scenarios, the bank acts in an anti-cyclical manner and assists in the formulation of solutions to resume economic growth.
In November 2020, the BNDES launched the Projects Hub (https://projectshub.bndes.gov.br), a platform to promote the infrastructure projects, concessions, PPPs, and privatizations that the bank is currently structuring. The BNDES Projects Hub’s goal is to make said projects more visible to investors so they are better prepared to participate in bidding processes.

The National Bank of Public Works and Services (BANOBRAS) plays an important role in the Mexican Banking System (5th largest), representing the 8% of the outstanding loan portfolio in Mexico and it’s the most important development bank in the country representing the 49% of the loan portfolio of development Banks. Banobras facilitates the development of infrastructure with high social profitability in Mexico through various financing schemes, with a long-term vision and seeking to enhance the participation of the private sector.
To reduce this gap Banobras created Mexico Projects Hub (https://www.proyectosmexico.gob.mx/en/home/), a state-of-the-art digital platform, being the first platform in the region to link infrastructure and energy projects to the different industry participants throughout the entire investment cycle in order to provide advanced visibility of the country’s major investment opportunities to national and foreign investors in a simple and efficient way.
