BEworks, the world’s first and foremost consulting team dedicated to the application of Behavioral Economics to real-world challenges, announced the launch of its highly anticipated opening in Mexico – further expanding its reach across Latin America.

This expansion stems from the increased demand for behavioral economic services in the region.  BEworks has had a presence in Colombia, Bogota since 2018, led by Juan Camilo Salcedo, Ph.D.. With a mission to transform society and the economy through scientific thinking, BEworks has helped organisations (both governmental and commercial) across Latin America, namely Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil, and Peru to tackle challenges using Behavioral Economics.

“BE is used by organizations around the globe to improve innovation, increase stakeholder value, and provide evidence for delivering on customer value. We have many opportunities in Latin America and we aim to employ the BEworks Method to address those challenges. That includes our research work on biases, our strategy work on creating behaviour change initiatives, and our rigorous empirical work designing and implementing large scale field experiments. Our team in Bogota and Mexico will enable us to create a cohesive network and further strengthen our service capabilities in this region.” said Kelly Peters, CEO and Co-founder, BEworks.
