CI&T Releases “Nearshoring for the AI Era” Highlighting LATAM as a Key Hub for Accessible, High-Quality AI Talent

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CI&T (NYSE: CINT), a global partner for tech-integrated business solutions, today announced a new report, ​​Nearshoring for the AI Era, highlighting the challenges organizations are facing hiring AI talent, and the increasing shift towards nearshoring, specifically in Latin America (LATAM).

The findings underscore a broader evolution in sourcing strategy: as AI reshapes enterprise priorities, companies are shifting away from traditional offshoring models rooted in cost efficiency, toward nearshore teams that enable real-time collaboration, stronger alignment, and the execution of more sophisticated AI initiatives. With this shift, LATAM is highlighted as a key hub for accessible, high-quality technology and AI talent.

“AI development moves at machine velocity, while traditional offshoring often struggles to keep pace and agility,” said Bruno Guicardi, President and Co-Founder, CI&T. “This research confirms that for the overwhelming majority of leaders, the path to AI success isn't just about finding cheaper developers, it's about finding a 'one-team' alignment that nearshoring can provide.”

Key findings from the report include:

  • 76% of tech leaders plan to increase nearshore hiring over the next two years
  • 90% express high confidence in LATAM AI talent, a major shift from historical offshore concerns
  • 60% indicate they’ve already shifted their offshore/nearshore spending to LATAM
