1 Ideas Economy: Colombia Driving growth in Latin America May 21st 2013 After a decade of transformational growth, Colombia has become one of Latin America's most important economies and a gateway to global business in the region. The Ideas Economy: Colombia summit will explore the challenges and opportunities ahead as Colombia works to confirm its place as a significant global force for business and economic growth in the twenty-first century. Already, a friendly investor climate is encouraging multinationals to headquarter their Latin American offices in Colombia. The city of Medellín has become a destination for new entrepreneurs. Colombia has been dubbed "the new Brazil" because of rapid economic growth and robust foreign investment. Yet, to continue down a path of sustainable growth, some of Colombia's most fundamental challenges need to be resolved, namely poor infrastructure, economic inequality, corruption and security concerns. What are the global and regional business alliances that will define Colombia's future? Will Colombia's commodity boom help build a more resilient economy? How can Colombia thrive as a business hub for multinationals and multilatinas? What are the most effective infrastructure financing models? How can Colombia capitalise on financial integration, such as Mercado Integrado Latinoamericano? What role does education, health care and tax reform play in alleviating poverty? Will Colombia be a launch pad for new businesses? What impact will peace talks have on political and economic reform? Chaired by Americas editor, Michael Reid, The Economist's sharp thinking and distinct perspective will draw upon leading policy-makers and business minds--across industries and sectors--to encourage intelligent dialogue about the future of social and economic progress in Colombia and beyond. Will the nation succeed in tackling some of the most significant barriers to lasting progress? Or will it merely tinker around the edges and miss its chance to become a last economic force of the twenty-first century? The Ideas Economy: Colombia summit is designed for a wide range of business leaders, entrepreneurs, decisionmakers, public officials and global executives who are invested in the future of Colombia. Together with The Economist's editors and featured guests, this event offers a full day of stimulating, interactive discussion and debate with a practical focus on business issues in Colombia in the broader context of large-scale macroeconomic trends.
