From June 17 to 19, industry leaders gathered in Manila, Philippines, for the BIIA 2026 Conference: Trusted Data & Applied Intelligence – The Foundation for Resilience and Growth, one of the leading global events for the business information, credit reporting, and risk assessment industries.
Credit Report was proud to participate through our General Manager, J. Isaac A. Rodriguez Gutierrez, who joined the panel discussion “Developments in B2B Data – The Changing Landscape” alongside experts from Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
As the only Latin American representative on the panel, Isaac shared insights into the opportunities and challenges facing the region, as well as the evolving role of business information, risk assessment, and company evaluation in an increasingly interconnected global economy.
Artificial Intelligence, Data Governance, and Trusted Information
One of the central themes of the conference was the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence and its growing impact on the business information industry.
Discussions emphasized the importance of data governance, regulatory compliance, and the use of reliable, verified information to support business decisions. Participants highlighted how access to accurate company data, business credit reports, and trusted sources is becoming increasingly important in industries where a single decision can have significant financial and reputational consequences.
As organizations continue to integrate AI into their operations, the quality and traceability of data remain critical to improving risk assessment, supporting company credit report analysis, and strengthening decision-making processes.
Growing International Interest in Latin America
Throughout the conference, conversations with industry leaders and business information providers revealed a growing interest in Latin America as a region of opportunity for international trade and investment.
“Latin America continues to attract increasing attention from international markets. However, understanding the reality of companies across the region requires a combination of trusted information, local expertise, and human insight,” Isaac noted during the panel discussion.
These exchanges reinforced the importance of reliable business information, local market knowledge, and independent verification when evaluating companies operating across Latin America. Whether supporting underwriting decisions, conducting due diligence, or reviewing a company credit score, access to trusted information remains essential.
