As part of Colombia Tech Week 2025, the main event will take place on August 21 and 22 at Parque Museo El Chicó in Bogotá, with additional conferences, workshops, and activities running from August 18 to 30 across multiple venues in Bogotá and Medellín.
A regional hub for innovation, vision, and investment
“Colombia Tech Fest is more than just an event. It’s a statement that Colombia is not just part of the global tech conversation, it’s leading new ways of making it happen,” says Nicolás Cruz, co-founder of the event.
The two-day festival will feature over 70 international speakers, including unicorn founders, AI leaders, and venture capitalists from Silicon Valley and across Latin America. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with more than 200 investment funds, corporations, and high-impact startups.
With more than 30 simultaneous sessions, including business roundtables, speed meetings, and strategic encounters, the event is designed to facilitate regional collaboration and unlock investment opportunities. Specialized workshops in fundraising, product development, AI, growth, and strategy will offer practical learning tracks for founders and operators alike.
According to organizers, Tech Fest aims to drive more than US$50 million in potential investment opportunities, with the participation of family offices, VCs, and capital leaders from Latin America and the Middle East.
“The future of Latin entrepreneurship isn’t just about raising capital, it’s about raising visions. Tech Fest is where those visions connect,” says Daniel Bilbao, co-founder of Truora and co-organizer of the event.
