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.
