How the EU helped Lautaro build his career

The BELLA Programme is linking the professionals and research and education communities of two continents through a submarine and terrestrial network of over 35,000 km high-speed fibre optic cable.

BELLA will be the digital highway connecting Europe and Latin America for decades to come and is already having a hugely positive impact on livelihoods on both continents.
