These spaces aimed to strengthen knowledge exchange, activate collaboration among ecosystem stakeholders, and accelerate the development of initiatives that contribute to Medellín’s well-being and competitiveness.
Meanwhile, Ruta N made progress in the renovation of its main auditorium, a 300-seat venue that now features a fully integrated audiovisual system. The upgrade includes a large-format high-definition LED screen, three high-brightness video projectors, 4K video processors, and four 4K PTZ cameras, enabling the venue to host events that meet international technical standards.
Currently, the complex houses 39 companies across various sectors, including digital transformation, solar energy, software development, aerospace defense, automotive technology, agrotech, digital marketing, data intelligence, telecommunications, digital solutions, accounting, among others.
