IMPACT TRADE - Medellín

April 15, 16 & 17, 2026

Medellín, Colombia.

IMPACT TRADE Medellín 2026

In Medellín, Latin America’s innovation hub, we will bring together pioneering business leaders from different continents to accelerate ventures that address social and environmental challenges. By combining strategic market intelligence with high-quality connections, we will leverage Colombia’s position as the region’s fourth-largest economy, with 16 active free trade agreements and privileged access to key markets, along with Medellín’s unique collaborative ecosystem to transform the way we create international opportunities.

How We Do It

IMPACT TRADE didn’t emerge from a business theory, but from a simple observation: the best partnerships are born when people connect as people, not as company representatives. That’s why our gatherings combine the best of two worlds: the intimacy of walking together in nature, and the precision of matchmaking technology that identifies real synergies before participants even meet.

We aim to revolutionize the way we connect and build global impact-driven business.

What will you experience at the event?

The Event

Connection Dynamics

The connection dynamic combines three key elements: it is based on intuitive, self-regulated walking rounds (eliminating formal pre-scheduled meetings that limit spontaneity), it is supported by technology that maps connections between participants in real time, and it is designed to generate high-value, trackable connections. The results speak for themselves: an average of 8.8 effective connections per participant at every event.

The Event

Walking rounds

We design business networking rounds that take place outdoors in natural environments. Neuroscience confirms it: walking increases creativity by 60% (Stanford) and improves problem-solving by 47% (McKinsey). Our goal is for participants to feel comfortable and eager to connect, discovering business opportunities with economic, social, and environmental impact while engaging in conversations on the move.

The Event

Provocative sessions

We will learn about the Colombian market and its relationship with other markets in the region through concrete cases of impact-driven international trade. We will explore soft landing in Medellín from two perspectives: local experts will share key insights into the ecosystem, while international participants will share their experiences—including implications, impact outcomes, value chains, transcontinental connections, successes, and failures.

The Event

Colombian market

Together with local experts, we will explore how to achieve a successful soft landing in Colombia and leverage this market as a strategic gateway for impact-driven businesses in Latin America. Its position as the fourth-largest economy in the region, its exceptional biodiversity, and its innovation ecosystem—with Medellín as a hub—open up unique opportunities in AgTech, renewable energy, and sustainable investment.
