Invest in Bogota Starts Working Agenda at the Web Summit in Portugal in Search
of Investors

LISBON, PORTUGAL / ACCESSWIRE / November 12, 2024 / The Web Summit, one of
the most important technology congresses in the world, starts this Monday in
Lisbon, Portugal. Invest in Bogota, an investment promotion agency, will be
participating in the event to showcase the business opportunities the city has
in the field of information technologies.

During the event, more than 3,000 companies from 160 countries and more than
1,000 investors are expected to gather, with an attendance that could exceed
70,000 people, according to figures from the organizers.

Invest in Bogota, through the entity's Investment Promotion Management, will
seek to connect companies, startups and investors that are disruptive,
innovative and outstanding in the industry, so that they can consider Bogota
as an investment and business destination in Latin America.

It is worth noting that in recent years, Bogota has positioned itself as a
nearshore platform to serve nearby markets, such as Latin America and North
America, and now the goal is to expand this vision to other markets, such as
Europe.

Software development has become a strength for a city like Bogota whose
economy is based on the provision of cutting-edge services and which aims to
become stronger and stronger.

This is how the trained human resources, the institutional ecosystem for the
digital economy, as well as a good support infrastructure for the operation,
have generated the right environment for recognized foreign companies such as
Amazon, Amadeus, Globant, Oracle, IBM, and Endava, among many others, have
chosen the capital of Colombia as a destination for IT investment.
