At the dawn of the 21st century, the world began a transformation that would forever change the way we communicate, work, and learn. Mobile phones, the internet at our fingertips, and the first applications paved the way for a new digital era.

📡 The endorsement of the International Telecommunication Union in 1998.

💻 The massive adoption of computers in households in the year 2000.

📱 The first mobile application marathon in 2003, which opened doors for young developers across the region.

🌆 The setup of UCity in 2008, the first smart city showcase in Colombia, brought from South Korea.

👥 Voices That Defined an Era

🎬 Behind the Scenes: The Effort That Builds Legacy

Beyond the spotlight, this episode also highlights the dedication of the CINTEL staff, who for years have faced logistical challenges—from tropical rains to groundbreaking setups—to ensure each version of ANDICOM becomes a success.
