RUTA N
•
Created by Medellin´s City Hall, EPM, and UNE, it is an institution from which different programs are
developed, and the resources of the municipality are channeled for science, technology and
innovation. It seeks to promote the development of innovative, technology-based businesses that
increase the competitiveness of the city, revitalize the economy, strengthen strategic clusters, and
enable better jobs for the citizens of Medellin.
•
Ruta N promotes innovative businesses that revitalize the competitiveness of the city. Ruta N
Corporation is pursuing the consolidation of Medellin as a city of knowledge. Therefore, in order to
increase the competitiveness of the city, it has undertaken the development of a technology district
in the north of the city. This district will lay the foundation for economic development in this area,
attracting companies related to science, technology, and innovation, especially in the areas of
health, energy, and Information Technology and Communications-ITCs.
•
This transformation has five dimensions: the urban dimension, consisting of the physical
transformation of the territory through real estate and infrastructure development; the business
dimension, that promotes and strengthens local entrepreneurship, in order to give them momentum
later, in the international arena; the social dimension which seeks to include all citizens in this
territory of knowledge by implementing a culture of innovation; the human talent dimension, that
maps what the city needs in professional skills to implement strategies that enable the creation,
development and retention of talent in the territory; the innovation dimension, that is looking for an
integration between science and the market, to help -figure out how to do science, technology and
innovation relevant to the progress of the city; and finally, governance, which is transverse to all
these dimensions and makes them a joint to give strength and relevance to this district.
Closing Gala at the MAMM –
Medellin Museum of Modern Art
Wednesday November 16th
Founded in 1978, for more than three decades the Museum of Modern Art of
Medellin had its headquarters in the traditional neighborhood of Carlos E.
Restrepo. In the year 2009, the MAMM was relocated to the South of the city,
using the spaces of Talleres Robledo, an old steel mill from the 1930s. In addition
to assembling a core collection of very important works of Colombian art, the
MAMM has been host of iconic events to the Latin American avant-gardes, such as
the First Colloquium and Non-Objectual Art Exhibition in 1981, and has promoted
initiatives that were fundamental for Colombian artists, such as the Arturo y
Rebeca Rabinovich art salons between 1981 and 2003. With monographic
exhibitions, for example, of Luis Camnitzer, a key figure of Latin American
conceptual art, and artists of the standing of Sophie Calle (France) or William
Kentridge (South Africa); tribute exhibitions to Colombian masters highlighting the
work of Débora Arango, Beatriz González, Luis Caballero, or Álvaro Barrios.
Arrangements have been made for a guided visit with the Museum’s curator
followed by formal dinner in the Museum’s fifth floor.
THANK YOU!
