In Medellin, the combination of cloud-native and Web 3 technologies has helped to create a dynamic ecosystem of innovation and entrepreneurship, with a focus on using technology to address social and economic challenges. This has included initiatives to provide digital education and training for underserved communities, as well as efforts to leverage blockchain technology to improve supply chain transparency and reduce corruption.
