Lakeside Tech Solutions Evolves into Cuidatec: Strategic Focus on AI, AR & Consumer App Development

Company announces shift to emerging technologies and consumer applications, aligned with Latin America’s digital economy trends

MEXICO CITY AND SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, September 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Lakeside Tech Solutions today announced its transformation into Cuidatec, reflecting a strategic shift. The rebrand emphasizes a focus on emerging technologies—including artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR)—and an exclusive commitment to research & development of consumer applications in multiple vertical markets.

Going forward, the company will no longer provide IT consulting and related services, and it will operate as a product-focused R&D company. Cuidatec develops scalable applications and technologies for distribution through digital channels, with the intent of expanding beyond the regional market where the company first began operations.

Market Context & Opportunity

Latin America (LATAM) is experiencing rapid technology expansion, with Mexico emerging as a hub for talent and innovation. Consumers increasingly adopt tools powered by technologies such as AI and AR. AR in particular is moving from experimental to mainstream use cases, with applications across multiple industries.

By positioning itself in these segments, Cuidatec aligns its strategy with areas of projected consumer demand.

Key statistics include:
• The LATAM artificial intelligence market will reach USD 154.2 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of ~29.2% between 2024-2030.
- LATAM’s immersive technology market will grow nearly fivefold by 2030, driven in large part by AR adoption. Mexico’s AR market will increase from USD 2.45 billion in 2024 to more than USD 16 billion by 2030. While hardware currently dominates, software and services continue to expand as adoption accelerates. AR is the most visible driver of this trend, but it exists within the broader extended reality (XR) ecosystem, which also includes virtual and mixed reality technologies. Together, these markets create opportunities across healthcare, education, and other sectors.
• The LATAM app economy continues to grow, with mobile technology and services contributing $550 billion—8.2% of regional GDP. 5G connections will surpass half of all mobile links by 2030, supporting AI-powered features and on-device machine learning.
• The LATAM digital health market will reach USD 58.8B by 2030 (CAGR ~23.2%). Healthcare XR in LATAM will grow at ~15% annually through 2029.
• The LATAM insurtech (insurance technology) market will reach USD 9.28 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of ~53.2% from 2024-2030.
• In proptech (property technology), the LATAM market will reach USD 3.90 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of ~13.6%.
These projections indicate sustained consumer demand for mobile and web apps and AI-enabled technologies, areas in which Cuidatec concentrates its development efforts.

Strategic Shift

Cuidatec’s rebranding represents a pivot from being a generalist technology services provider to becoming a research and product development company.

Key elements of the company’s strategy include:
• Product Development: The company focuses on ideation, prototyping, user testing, and scaling of consumer apps and platforms. It no longer undertakes consulting or contracting projects that are primarily service-oriented.
• Core Verticals: The company concentrates on vertical markets with measurable growth potential, recurring engagement opportunities (subscriptions, in-app purchases), and integration of AI and AR.
• Use of Emerging Technologies: Cuidatec integrates AI (including computer vision, machine learning, predictive modeling, and natural language processing) and AR into its product design roadmap.
• R&D and Intellectual Property: The company develops proprietary technologies and user experience design capabilities.
• Scalability and Distribution: Cuidatec designs products for scaling across Latin America and other regions through app stores, platforms, and partnerships, informed by local market insight.

“Cuidatec’s mission is to become a developer of consumer technology solutions across Latin America, with the expertise to expand globally,” said a spokesperson for Cuidatec. “Mexico’s growing technology ecosystem, combined with its talent pool, supports this direction. We combine Silicon Valley experience with Latin American markets to deliver applications that address consumer needs.

Growth Potential for Investors

Cuidatec’s repositioning highlights several factors relevant to investors:
• Market Growth: The company participates in markets projected to grow 20–30% annually.
• Revenue Models: It generates revenue through subscriptions, in-app purchases, freemium models, licensing, and platform integrations.
• Diversification: The company engages across multiple verticals to reduce reliance on a single category.
• Intellectual Property: Cuidatec develops proprietary IP rather than service work.
• Regional Positioning: It combines local cultural understanding with experience from Silicon Valley.

The company indicates that this shift directs resources to projects with long-term scalability and potential for partnerships.

Operational Realignment

As part of its restructuring, Cuidatec will wind down office-based operations in Chapala, Jalisco. It will concentrate resources across technology hubs that support product development and recruitment.

Mexico City plays a central role in that strategy, as it has become Latin America’s largest tech talent market, surpassing São Paulo. The city accounts for about 31% of Latin America’s technology graduates and hosts a growing startup ecosystem with significant funding flows.

While the company will no longer base daily operations in Chapala, Cuidatec will continue nonprofit initiatives originally organized under Lakeside Tech Solutions. These initiatives—focused on digital literacy, tech inclusion, and economic development—will operate under a revised organizational structure.
The Chapala region also remains relevant to Cuidatec’s overall strategy. A portion of the company’s target audience for new applications resides in Chapala, and the company will engage with the community through focus groups and feedback channels.
