Optimization of investments in infrastructure and telecommunication projects
During the event, which will take place during the Colombia Global Fair to be held in Corferias, representatives of the country’s public and private entities will analyze the successful experiences of Spain, Chile and Peru, and explore opportunities for improving joint planning between the infrastructure and communications sectors in Colombia.
The “highways with fiber" concept relates to the possibility that Colombia's main highways incorporate optical fiber installations and offer universal access to communities. This is possible when road infrastructure investments are coordinated with communications investments, minimizing delivery times, avoiding inconvenience to users and optimizing resources.
The forum will have the participation of CAF director in Colombia Freddy Rojas; Daniel Enrique Medina, vice minister of Communications; Alvaro José Soto, director of INCO; Juan Martín Caicedo, president of the Colombian Chamber of Infrastructure; and Francisco Wulff, director of sectoral analysis and programming of the CAF Vice Presidency of Infrastructure.
With this space, CAF aims to contribute to generating new ways of designing public policies, as well as integrating efforts, institutions and beneficiaries, by developing innovative initiatives that strengthen infrastructure development plans in the region.
