Colombia Tech Week 2025 by Forbes: T&C drives innovation and international expansion

On August 20, 2025, as part of Colombia Tech Week 2025 by Forbes, our partner Pablo Andrés Pérez García participated in a high-level forum alongside Forbes Colombia, Teramind, Tools for Humanity and Nequi. The event consolidated itself as a key venue to analyze how innovation and technology are transforming business across Colombia and Latin America.

A panel on the future of regional business

The forum included Claudia Jaramillo Casallas, Country Manager of Forbes Colombia, and brought together business and tech leaders to reflect on the role of digitalization, artificial intelligence and connectivity in the region's economic development. The conversation covered regulatory trends, cross-border investment vehicles and the legal frameworks enabling the international expansion of Latin American technology companies.

The T&C view: bridges between local innovation and global markets

Together with figures such as María José Echeverri Giraldo and Nicolás Cruz, Colombia Tech Week is consolidating itself as a platform that connects talent, strategic vision and the future of the regional technology industry. At T&C Consulting Group we believe these spaces are essential to support Latin American companies in their international expansion, connecting them with opportunities in the UAE and other strategic markets.

Implications for scaling founders and companies

For founders scaling toward geographies like UAE, UK or the United States, the bottleneck is rarely the product, but the regulatory and tax component. Designing the right corporate structure from the early stage, anticipating founder tax residency, foreseeing scalable investment vehicles and understanding applicable preferential regimes are decisions that define the ability to raise international capital and remain compliant.
