We are proud to announce that we’re expanding into Latin America with a new delivery center in Medellín, Colombia. The new location will be the sixth global base of operations for Forte Group, located in the Medellin innovation complex, Ruta N. Our new location in Medellin expands upon our other office locations in the U.S., Belarus, and Ukraine.
“The decision to expand our presence into Colombia represents an exciting phase in our company’s growth. While we were evaluating where to expand, we found Medellin to be a growing technology city with some of the best software development talent in the Western Hemisphere. This new location helps us better serve our clients with world-class custom software services.”
— Steve Kreynin, CEO and founder at Forte Group
Our partners, three Medellin-based promotional agencies — ProColombia, ACI Medellin, and Ruta N. — supported Forte Group’s exploration of a new office and the investment location.
“Forte Group’s investment in Colombia confirms the country’s attractiveness in the software services and IT sector because of its strategic location, protection to the investor, and sustained growth of its indicators — among other factors. This is the kind of investment that contributes to our talent development and the economic reactivation of our country.”
— Flavia Santoro, President at ProColombia
“The arrival of these types of companies shows that Medellín’s science, technology, and innovation ecosystem is competitive and up for the expectations of global industries. So it is great news for the city and a call for its labor force that now needs to show what it is made of. This is what it is ultimately about improving the quality of life by creating good jobs through important allies that make our economy stronger.”
— Paulina Villa, Portfolio Manager of Ruta N
“Working with companies like Forte Group in our city strengthens the Software Valley strategy, traced in the Development Plan Medellin Futuro, in which we seek to become an attractive destination so that foreign investors can find trained talent at competitive costs for operation and compromise from public entities, private as well as public.”
— Eleonora Betancur, Executive Director at ACI Medellin
