Smart Governance Lab launches an innovative platform to transform board management at SMEs: Board IA

Mexico City, 10 of April 2025

Smart Governance Lab, a consulting firm focused on corporate governance that integrates cutting-edge technology, announces the official launch of its board management platform, Board IA , with the goal of revolutionizing how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) manage their boards and corporate governance.

Designed to address the specific needs of SMEs that lack formal governance structures, Board IA offers an intelligent virtual assistant that helps structure and formalize corporate governance based on best practices. The platform not only improves internal efficiency but also facilitates access to financial institutions for invoice financing, loans, leases, and other financial services.

“Our goal is to empower SMEs by providing them with accessible tools that enable them to professionalize their management and open doors to financing,” said Andrés Alcántara, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Smart Governance Lab. “We believe that by improving transparency and internal structure, companies will be able to grow sustainably and contribute to strengthening the economy.”

Key features of Board IA

• Intelligent virtual assistant: Transcribes meetings and automatically generates minutes, agendas, and action items, making it easier to document and track decisions.
• Comprehensive meeting management: Tools for scheduling and organizing board meetings, with personalized notifications and reminders.
• Formalizing corporate governance: Assistance in creating leadership structures and committees, with educational resources on roles and responsibilities.
• Access to financing: Connections with financial institutions that value formalization and transparency, along with guidance on submitting the required information and documentation.
• Training and improvement resources: A library of educational materials, webinars, and online courses on corporate governance and business management.

“SMEs are the heart of our economy, but they often face obstacles to accessing financing because they lack formal structures,” said Alejandro Salcedo, Legal Director of Smart Governance Lab. “With Board IA, we aim to eliminate those barriers and enable these companies to reach their full potential.”

Collaboration and growth strategies:

The company is establishing partnerships with chambers of commerce, business associations, and financial institutions to expand its reach and offer added value to users. The platform also plans to introduce loyalty and referral programs and expand its services based on customer feedback.
