In its eighth edition, the Colombia Investment Summit was attended by more than 750 entrepreneurs from 43 countries. This event highlighted the attractiveness and investment potential of the various territories of the country, positioning itself as the ideal space to promote dialogue and cooperation for sustainable economic development in Colombia.
As the pinnacle event for attracting foreign direct investment to the country, the Colombia Investment Summit continues to consolidate its position as the main showcase for this purpose. During 2023, it brought together leading regional investment promotion agencies (APRI).
This space provided foreign investors with an opportunity to establish strategic alliances and explore projects in search of investment. It also provided an opportunity to establish key connections with national government entities, free trade zones, local authorities, trade associations and regional promotion agencies.
Some of the investors tell their experience
Joseph Olin, Director of Studies and Special Projects of PikPok, a New Zealand company based in Medellín, has expressed interest in expanding its operation in Colombia. They are even currently evaluating the possibility of opening a new operation in the department of Atlántico. In this regard, the director expresses that "There is confidence in Colombia and its valuable talent that has allowed us to grow and export services, their talent has been the main reason to expand".
Christopher Palumbo, CEO of Goldenberry Farms, says that the company has consolidated its presence in Colombia with its own packing plants for the export of cape gooseberries.
"We recognize that Colombia has a great diversity of regions that make it attractive for investment. We started in Antioquia and have already expanded into Bogota and the Caribbean Coast. The varied climate, the people and the advantages of exporting from the Atlantic and Pacific represent great possibilities for development," concludes Palumbo.
In this scenario of positive transformation, investing in Colombia not only represents a smart financial decision, but also an opportunity to contribute to the progress of a country with great economic potential.
