Bogotá, July 2025 – Under the theme Unlock Your Future and with the aim of creating a space conducive to entrepreneurship, creativity, talent, and connections that foster the development of solutions to address humanity’s most pressing challenges, the Bogotá Chamber of Commerce (CCB) launched the eighth edition of Gofest this Monday. During the last week of August, the event will serve as the epicenter of innovation and entrepreneurship in Latin America, featuring partners such as Platzi and Genera Summit, and sponsors like Google and Cafam.

With an expected attendance of 25,000 people, Gofest 2025 will be held from August 26 to 30 and will mark a milestone by expanding from three to five days compared to previous editions.

A key highlight is the partnership with Platzi, which will be realized through a joint acceleration program with the Bogotá Chamber of Commerce. The program will culminate in the selection of five projects to participate in the Demodays, taking place at Gofest on August 29 and 30.

Additionally, Platzi Conf will be held within the framework of Gofest this year, with an expected audience of 6,000 attendees. It will take place on Saturday, August 30.

Ovidio Claros Polanco, Executive President of the Bogotá Chamber of Commerce, stated:

"At the CCB, we firmly believe in the power of connections and in entrepreneurship as a driving force to face the challenges currently confronting humanity. We are also convinced that entrepreneurship has the capacity to transform territories and open new opportunities for the communities that inhabit them."

Claros Polanco added:

"Gofest is the ideal platform to energize the ecosystem and promote knowledge generation and tech-based projects not only in Bogotá but throughout Latin America. This ultimately brings us closer to the goal of making our capital the hub of innovation and entrepreneurship."

Gofest is part of ‘United for Startups’, a joint effort with Conexión (Medellín) and Capital Summit (Cali), aimed at selecting the best startups in the country to participate in the ‘Colombia Final’, which will take place on Friday, August 29.
