How should Medellin be like the headquarters of the 4th industrial

revolution?

Medellin has been an important part of Colombia in terms of innovation, however, it requires
significant economic impulses if it is to be measured with cities that lead the way in terms of
technologies and technological development is intended as New York USA, Seoul in Korea,
Shenzhen in China etc. But it should be noted that Medellin seeks to equate its technological gap
with respect to the aforementioned cities with innovation, research and entrepreneurship related
to artificial intelligence, the internet of things or IOT. To focus even more on the subject, I refer to
the public universities that have occupied an important part for research, for example at the
University of Antioquia there are several research groups focused on turning Medellin into a green
city and with technology that allows improving and take care of air quality in Medellin and its
surroundings, the systematic group made up of professors such as Ricardo, Aedo cobo among
others, are developing technologies that allow monitoring the environment in the city of Medellin
along with guaranteeing mobility and sustainability at the same time. Initially, monitoring is being
considered within the university campus, in order to carry out pilot tests and collect data and
upload it in real time to the university's own platform where the public of interest can access
them. The sensors that have been proposed to place are temperature sensors, air quality, noise
and thermal sensation etc. The idea is also to look for sustainable alternatives that allow reducing
the gas emission rate that occurs within the “valle de aburra”, for this reason they also raise the
possibility of converting internal combustion vehicles to electric, projects that are still in the
process of mediation. Thus, Medellin seeks to generate an important impact that allows it to catch
up with cities with many more resources and to be able to honor the pseudonym "Medellin
headquarters of the 4 industrial revolution."

The global environmental emergency has led Medellin and its rulers to opt for the use of electric
vehicles, transforming their lines of internal combustion buses to electric vehicles, a change that is
in process and even seeks the idea of encouraging the use of bicycles. Providing green and friendly
cycle routes full of vegetation.
