MAKING THE HEADLINES

And then there were four!

It is hard to believe that just last year we launched the first edition of Kamay Code in our own backyard here in Buenos Aires. Now, almost a year and a half later, we’re excited to announce the fourth installment of Kamay Code! This time, we’re heading to the vibrant land of coffee, bandeja paisa, and, of course, disruptive startups - Colombia! Mark your calendars for September 11th as we gear for Kamay Code Bogota.

You may know the drill by now, but just in case here’s a quick refresher! If you are or know of a startup eager to pitch their innovative solutions to one of the five challenges crafted for this edition and are excited about the opportunity to design a proof of concept (POC) with our corporate partners, don’t hesitate to apply!
