Nordic Smart Cities project in Colombia

Medellin has become famous for it’s impressive commitment to innovative and progressive social and architectural projects.

Colombia is calling! Smart city technologies, sustainable energy and environmental solutions are needed now. Colombia is a market with 49 million inhabitants, and is the third largest market in Latin America. Trade opportunities are booming, and Colombia has the past decade experienced strong growth rates and rising GDP per capita. The development has lifted Colombia out of poverty and into a lower-middle income country. The peace agreement between FARC and the Colombian government further supports this development.

The accession of Colombia to the OECD as of May 2018 will also strengthen the economy and create more confidence among foreign investors. Colombia is indisputably a market to keep an eye on for Nordic businesses. When it comes to solutions within smart cities, now is the time.
