Publicly funded, Ruta N not only serves as a launch site for businesses operating in Medellín, but also works with universities and the private sector to promote innovation, to support entrepreneurs, and to provide tech training and education for youth.
Ruta N was created by Medellin's City Hall, business group EPM (a government owned utility company in Colombia) and TIGO UNE (Colombian Telecommunications Company owned by EPM) in 2011, to streamline the city's innovation ecosystem, promoting the development of innovative, technology-based businesses, to increase the competitiveness of the city and the region.
