Unleashing the Potential of Latin America
Latin America is witnessing an unparalleled surge in urbanisation, with cities striving to become more efficient, sustainable and secure. The region's smart city market is expected to grow exponentially, driven by government initiatives, increasing urban population, and the demand for sustainable solutions. Through the partnerships with NC Digy Smart Cities & AECOM (together with Gorilla's local partner Protactics), Gorilla will build scale and capitalise on this momentum by introducing cutting-edge security options tailored to the unique needs of Latin American cities.
By leveraging NC Digy Smart Cities and Gorilla's robust AI and cybersecurity solutions, the partnership will offer a comprehensive range of services to local governments and companies.

AECOM's extensive experience in infrastructure consulting will further ensure that the deployment of these technologies is seamless and aligned with the highest standards of urban planning.
"This partnership is not just about deploying technology; it is about reimagining the future of our cities, in Latin America. As this initiative progresses, we expect it to unlock vast opportunities for growth, create new markets and set new standards for smart city development. The smart cities of tomorrow are on the horizon and Gorilla Technology, NC Digy Smart Cities and AECOM are leading the charge," said Jaime Niño, General Manager of AECOM LATAM.
Pioneering Smart Cities in the United States
