The next generation of Medellín's entrepreneurial fabric

When a startup vibrates loudly, all of Medellín feels it.

Startups are like energy centers that emit vibrations capable of moving the entire ecosystem. Each one resonates differently, but when their energies connect with investors, corporations, academia, the State and citizens, they generate expansions that transform the city and project Medellín to the world.

In practice, Medellín Next is Ruta N's flagship program that promotes the startups with the greatest potential in the city, accompanying them in an intensive 2.5 month process with mentoring, strategic training and global connections.

From up to 25 selected startups, the 5 most outstanding will be ambassadors of Medellin's innovation, showing the world the transformative power of our ecosystem.
