Guayaquil / Quito, Ecuador — June 24, 2026. — ScaleUp Summit Network 2026 announces its arrival in Ecuador with two strategic editions in Guayaquil and Quito, designed to support startups, scaleups, and technology-driven companies seeking to scale with greater clarity, operational readiness, and capacity to attract investment.
Led by Cuemby and developed in collaboration with MANA Tech, a key partner in connecting Ecuador’s ecosystem with global opportunities for innovation, investment, and expansion, and with the support of Misión Ecuador and Ecuador Tech Week, the initiative arrives in the country with a practical methodology focused on strengthening companies’ technical maturity and aligning them with the standards expected by leading investment funds and international market players.
Its goal is to help Ecuadorian companies with active products, customers, pilots, or commercial traction understand their real level of readiness to grow, raise capital, optimize their technology operations, and expand into new markets.
ScaleUp Summit is structured as an executive and technical working environment. Participating companies gain access to a guided assessment, expert-led sessions, high-value conversations, and a personalized report that identifies strengths, gaps, and improvement priorities.
“Ecuador has a business and technology ecosystem with strong potential for regional growth. The challenge is to build companies that are technically solid, operationally prepared, and ready to engage with capital, corporations, and international markets,”
said Angel Ramirez, CEO of Cuemby.
“ScaleUp Summit aims to deliver real value creation: diagnosis, clarity, connections, and a concrete action plan so companies can scale with greater confidence.”
ScaleUp Summit is designed for companies that already show verifiable signs of maturity, including a product in production or an active pilot, customers, proofs of concept, ongoing revenue, defined teams, and a minimum operational foundation.
The application process helps identify companies with real growth potential and ensures that the experience is relevant for founders, CEOs, CTOs, investors, corporations, and strategic partners.
During the program, participating companies will work across key dimensions such as technology architecture, infrastructure, security, DevOps, cloud, data, artificial intelligence, operational efficiency, scalability, costs, technical governance, and readiness for investment or expansion processes.
As a result, each company may receive a Tech Readiness Report, a Readiness Score, prioritized recommendations, and a 30, 90, and 180 day optimization roadmap, along with access to conversations with experts and potential ecosystem partners.
“At Misión Ecuador, we work so more entrepreneurs can access training, leadership, and opportunities that can truly change their trajectory. Supporting ScaleUp Summit makes strong sense for us because it adds a concrete tool to the ecosystem: it helps Ecuadorian companies understand where they are, what they need to strengthen, and how to better prepare for impact-driven growth,”
said Marco Mendieta, Founder & Director at Misión Ecuador Foundation.
The arrival of ScaleUp Summit in Guayaquil and Quito responds to the growth of Ecuador’s ecosystem and the need to create more actionable spaces where technology, capital, and business expansion can converge.
“Many Latin American companies have the product, talent, and ambition to grow beyond their home market. The key is to arrive better prepared. From MANA Tech, we see ScaleUp Summit as a very practical way to help founders and teams organize their priorities before engaging with investors, partners, or customers in the United States,”
said Carlos Parra, Director of Strategic Partnerships & Ecosystem Development for LATAM at MANA Tech.
Guayaquil represents a key point because of its business, commercial, and corporate dynamism, while Quito concentrates institutions, talent, innovation, investment, and strategic connections for ecosystem development. Together, both cities create an opportunity to connect high-potential companies with actors that can accelerate their growth.
ScaleUp Summit brings together sponsors, investors, corporations, financial firms, legal firms, technology companies, and ecosystem organizations to create an environment for practical collaboration. The initiative allows partners to gain visibility while actively contributing value to companies in growth stages.
For investors and corporations, the program offers access to pre-selected companies, readiness insights, better-informed conversations, and a clearer view of technology risks, opportunities, and needs. For sponsors and partners, it represents a path to position themselves as real enablers of business growth in Ecuador.
ScaleUp Summit Ecuador invites startups, scaleups, technology companies, corporations, investment funds, chambers of commerce, innovation hubs, universities, accelerators, specialized media, and ecosystem partners to join the Guayaquil and Quito editions.
