Nestled high in the Andes at 2,640 meters, Bogotá is a vibrant metropolis of more than 8 million people. It is both Colombia’s cultural heart and its innovation engine — blending colonial charm, bustling markets, and world-class gastronomy with cutting-edge research and modern infrastructure.

As the nation’s top center for education and science, Bogotá produces nearly 40% of Colombia’s PhD graduates and has the largest concentration of universities and research institutions. This academic strength fuels advances in robotics, automation, and digital services, while a thriving ecosystem of startups and global companies delivers smart solutions across industries. The city has also become a leader in sustainability, inclusion, and innovation, creating fertile ground for collaboration and new ideas.

By choosing Bogotá, CSC highlights Latin America’s fast-growing role in digital trust and identity, positioning the Summit at the crossroads of policy, academia, and industry — where global standards meet regional opportunity.
