Bogota
Home to over 8 million inhabitants, Bogota has a rich cultural heritage and stands out for its economic strength and financial maturity. It has the highest nominal GDP in the country and, in 2008, the UK’s World Cities Study Group and Network (GaWC) ranked Bogota among the cities instrumental in linking their region or state to the world economy.
Because of its geographical proximity to the equator, Colombia doesn’t have typical seasons. Although there are rainy, dry, and breezy seasons in different regions of Colombia, most Colombian cities experience relatively the same climate and temperatures year round.
Bogota is the capital city and is located in the centre of the country in a plateau of the Andes Mountain range. It has a cool spring-like climate all year round.
Colombia holds the highest position in Latin America in the World Bank’s rating for "ease of doing business" in 2016 through 2017 and it is featured 10th in A.T. Kearney’s 2017 Global Services Index, which ranks the world’s top outsourcing countries.
Known as the “Athens of South America”, Bogota has some of the best universities in Latin America, producing over 17,000 graduates in IT, and engineering related fields every year. Its talent-rich IT sector holds over 73% of the nation’s IT PhD’s, 51% of Master’s graduates, and an excellent availability of specialised bilingual professionals for the region.
Located on the US Central / Eastern Standard time zone (GMT-5/-6) Bogota has direct travel connections with most major US cities, and direct connections from the UK and Western Europe. This allows us to provide Agile and Digital Transformation nearshore services to both the US and European market.
