Through solutions based on the analysis of satellite photos and machine learning models, it is possible to optimize the process of identifying the best land uses and analyze the areas where a construction project will be developed with a high level of detail, in order to find the optimal location and minimize investment risks.
The accelerated growth in the availability of data and the solutions and technologies being developed to take advantage of it is directly impacting all industries, and the real estate and construction industry is no exception.
Using advanced technology applied to the extraction and processing of large volumes of data, it is possible to obtain the necessary information to evaluate whether a new product, service or brand will be accepted when it begins to compete in a specific market.
Companies that intend to compete in a new market always ask themselves the following question: How much acceptance will our new product, service or brand have?
Identifying the best areas to invest in, knowing what type of property is in demand in each area, whether you are looking for more rentals or sales, homes or offices, or in which segments of the population there is more demand for each type of property, is part of what can now be analyzed using modern Big Data techniques.
The real estate market is not alien to the new reality focused on analyzing large volumes of information and making business decisions based on data.
In a new attempt, the authorities of the Regional Electricity Market announced the beginning of the feasibility study for the creation of a market through which electricity can be commercialized between Central America and the North American country.
Currently, Guatemala is the only country in the Northern Triangle that directly commercializes energy with counterparts in the Mexican market.
In the first quarter of the year, countries in the region imported $81 million worth of electrical transformers, registering an increase of 9% compared to the amount reported in the same period in 2017.

The Latin American Development Bank is calling for expressions of interest to carry out a feasibility study on the public transport system in the center of Panama City.
Public Purchase LAIF 202061471:
"The services which are the object of this invitation consist of carrying out the activities that are necessary to develop a Feasibility Study on the Public Transportation System of Panama City Center, which must contain, as a minimum, the following: proposal of a collective public transport system consisting of a tram as a structuring element and buses (or other modes) that feed and complement the former, for the city center.
A call has been made for expressions of interest to develop a pre-feasibility study for a new network master plan for the Panama Metro system, with emphasis on lines 4 and 5.
From the announcement made by the Panama Metro Secretariat:
The general objective of the consulting services for a pre feasibility study for a New Network Master Plan for the Panama Metro System is to undertake pre feasibility analysis of the New Network Mater Plan for the Panama Metro, with emphasis on lines 4 and 5, starting from demand estimates developed under the TRANUS system, updating the MPSA database in terms of the physical, socioeconomic and urban development variables of the various corridors that make up the network.
The urgent need for economic development in the region frequently makes everyone draw the attention to proposals that have dubious viability.
