Medellín aims to be Latin America's innovation capital

The city of Medellín, in northwestern Colombia, aspires to become Latin America's innovation capital by 2021.

Implementing the "MedellinInnovation" campaign will entail an investment of $389 million, the municipal government said.

The initiative was crafted after Medellin was designated in March as Innovative City of the Year, beating out New York and Tel Aviv in a competition organized by Citigroup.
