How founders get in
“A week of events” connecting founders, corporates, funds and decision-makers through organic, horizontal connections, with the chance to meet investors, mentors and strategic partners. The Colombia Tech Fest experience adds stages, workshops, networking, exhibition, coworking and wellness spaces.
- Most recent completed edition: Colombia Tech Week 2026 ran 2026-08-10 to 2026-08-16. Its published registration and ticket routes refer to that past edition.
- For the 2026 Week, use the official attendee registration form, select “Emprendedor (Fundador),” complete the profile fields and continue through the form. The organiser publishes no startup-specific eligibility criteria.
- Choose events in the official 2026 agenda and use each event’s own RSVP link. The Week is community-organised and decentralised; the organiser’s 2026 host playbook says attendee tickets for host events are free.
- Colombia Tech Fest required a separate ticket purchase for 2026. The organiser’s agenda advertised code COLOMBIATECHWEEK for 20% off that edition’s festival tickets.
- For the next announced edition, the organiser offers a Colombia Tech Fest 2027 waitlist. The official material reviewed gives no 2027 dates, full Colombia Tech Week registration route or 2027 ticket prices.
