Tech Sphere 2025 will bring together academia and industry around AI

In today’s digital era, events have become essential platforms for merging knowledge, innovation, and talent. Tech Sphere 2025 stands out as a key event connecting academia and industry to drive innovation in artificial intelligence (AI). 

Taking place on September 27 at the University of Antioquia in Medellín, this event brings together tech leaders, entrepreneurs, and scholars to explore AI’s potential in solving complex problems.

Bridging Academia and Industry Through AI

When academic rigor meets business pragmatism, the result is impactful, real-world innovation. This synergy will take center stage at the third edition of TECH SPHERE 2025, set to take place on September 27 at the University of Antioquia in Medellín. 

The event aims to deepen the conversation around AI in Colombia and strengthen Medellín’s standing as a Special District of Science, Technology, and Innovation. It will bring together tech leaders, entrepreneurs, scholars, and professionals to explore how AI can convert today’s complex problems into scalable solutions.

A Growing Ecosystem Ready for Action

Medellín is currently experiencing a pivotal moment in its technological evolution. Its expanding tech ecosystem requires environments where theoretical knowledge can be directly linked to real-world application.

TECH SPHERE 2025 steps in to meet this need with a comprehensive agenda that goes beyond academic theory. Attendees can expect hands-on technical workshops focused on data processing (ETL) led by Vibe Coding, strategic discussions around AI-oriented software architectures, and practical sessions on integrating language model APIs into real environments.

As Medellín continues to thrive in its role as a recognized science and innovation hub, the timing of this event couldn’t be more fitting. There’s a growing urgency to connect talent, insights, and actionable opportunities.

From Theory to Practice: What to Expect

The TECH SPHERE 2025 schedule reflects its commitment to practical impact. It includes guided ETL workshops in Colab, sessions focused on building AI-native software infrastructure, and talks on how to embed large language model APIs effectively.

Crucial industry questions will also be addressed: 

• Is it worth building your own LLM? 
• How can projects move from experimentation to real-world deployment? 
• What role do synthetic data and low-code platforms play in helping small and mid-sized businesses adopt AI?

A Hands-On AI Experience for All Levels

Organized by Source Meridian, 360 Health Data, and Pascual Bravo University Institution, TECH SPHERE 2025 is not your standard AI event. In addition to its talks, the program includes:

• Interactive workshops designed to learn by doing
• An AI Challenge, where emerging talent will tackle real-world problems
• Strategic networking opportunities between companies, startups, and universities

This year, speakers were chosen from a wide range of applicants, from junior professionals to seasoned experts, each bringing real case studies and stories meant to spark dialogue and inspiration.

Making Artificial Intelligence Accessible

At its core, the event aims to democratize AI, proving that its development is not reserved for global tech giants. Medellín boasts the talent, partnerships, and drive to lead this transformation, and TECH SPHERE 2025 will be the stage where that vision comes to life.

The message is clear: AI is not just a subject to discuss, but a space to co-create. Free registration opens in August at their official website.
