When AI Enters the Cash Flow

What Web Summit Rio 2026 revealed about the next phase of artificial intelligence

Why is this content essential for your company?

From June 8 to 11, Web Summit Rio brought together around 40 thousand people, 1,572 startups and 688 investors at Riocentro, and the message from the stages was explicit: the market wants to see AI turning into revenue.

In this whitepaper we bring together what Clara heard, presented and considers the most useful takeaways from the event for CFOs, founders and technology leaders. From the launch of Clara Global, built 100% with AI, to the data from our AI Monitor Report, we show why competitive advantage can already be built from Latin America.

Learn how to reorganize work around AI to set your company apart over the next 18 months.

What will you learn from this strategic guide?

  • The speed that redefines the roadmap: How a squad of three people delivered in a few weeks what used to take two years, and why the pace of feature releases is now about 10 times faster, with help from AI.
  • The 423% jump: Why corporate AI spending in Brazil grew 423% in 12 months, and how the country alone accounts for about half of regional investment in this technology.
  • AI management as a portfolio: The calculation that separates subscriptions (per seat) from infrastructure (per token).
  • The two-sided trap: Why not adopting AI carries an invisible productivity cost, but adopting it without a ready data foundation and governance comes with an expensive friction price.
  • Sovereignty in the AI budget: The question every CFO should ask before the next contract: "If the provider goes down tomorrow, what is my Plan B?"
