This paper aims to analyze the economic and technological implications for Latin America of the consolidation of the Global Technology Oligopoly (OTG) formed by the occidental and oriental tech giants: Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft (GAFAM) and Alibaba, Tencent and Huawei (ATH). In previous research, we noted that the oligopoly GAFAM-ATH disputes the leadership of the global tech market based on a predominantly rent-based and hyper-concentrated scheme of competition between giants firms. Here we are interested in going deeper in two directions: a) In consolidating the construction of the Global Technology Oligopoly; b) In analyzing the economic and technological consequences for Latin America of this kind of market scheme. To achieve this we start from an empirical inquiry about the dynamic of competition and capital profitability of the GAFAM-ATH, together with the observation of the Latin American tech market in terms of main actors, competition dynamic, profitability sources and global positioning, analyzing the interrelations between the global and regional dimensions, where the “Tecnolatinas” stand out. We look to contribute to the global debates about these topics, especially to the explanation of the tech and economic lag of Latin America from a vision that contemplates the kind of techno-economic insertion of the region in the dynamics of nowadays capitalism. The main results indicate that the logic of capital profitability of the OTG, based mainly on the data exploitation and the collecting of extraordinary intellectual rents generated on a global scale, excludes smaller and less global actors from the technological competition and promotes the techno-economic dependency of the Latin America periphery.

El objetivo del trabajo es analizar implicancias económicas y tecnológicas para América Latina de la consolidación del Oligopolio Tecnológico Global (OTG) conformado por las gigantes tecnológicas occidentales y orientales: Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple y Microsoft (GAFAM) y Alibaba, Tencent y Huawei (ATH). En investigaciones previas observamos que el oligopolio GAFAM-ATH disputa el liderazgo del mercado tecnológico global sobre la base de un esquema predominantemente rentista e hiper-concentrado de competencia entre firmas gigantes. Aquí nos interesa interesa avanzar en dos direcciones: a) consolidar la construcción del concepto de Oligopolio Tecnológico Global; b) analizar consecuencias tecnológicas y económicas para América Latina de ese tipo de esquema de mercado. Para ello partimos de una indagación empírica sobre la dinámica de competencia y rentabilización del capital de GAFAM-ATH, junto a la observación del mercado tecnológico latinoamericano en términos de actores principales, dinámica de competencia, fuentes de rentabilidad y posicionamiento global, analizando interrelaciones entre la dimensión global y la regional, donde destacan las denominadas “tecnolatinas”. Buscamos contribuir a los debates globales sobre estos temas, especialmente a la explicación del rezago tecnológico y económico de Latinoamérica desde una visión que contemple el tipo de inserción tecno-económica de la región en las dinámicas del capitalismo actual. Los principales resultados indican que la lógica de rentabilización del capital del OTG, basada centralmente en la explotación de datos y la obtención de rentas intelectuales extraordinarias generadas a escala planetaria, excluye de la competencia tecnológica a actores de menor envergadura y alcance geográfico, y promueve la dependencia tecno-económica de la periferia latinoamericana.
