Returning to Colombia and hosted in Medellín, the World Economic Forum on Latin America 2016 convenes at a remarkable time for the city: Medellín’s transformation over the past two decades is a stark example of successful 21st-century urban innovation.
At the same time, Colombia is close to a historic accord that promises opportunities for sustained peace, economic progress and social inclusion. These inspiring achievements teach valuable lessons and are a reminder that socio-economic advances require constant attention as well as concerted and strategic action.
