Colombia. The Electronic Security cluster will be added to the six that have been structured in the city: Electric Power; Construction, Textile/Apparel, Design and Fashion; Business Tourism, Fairs and Conventions; Services of Medicine and Dentistry, and Information and Communication Technologies.
This was cleared in the Council of the analysis carried out to the Medellín Ciudad Cluster program. There is no definite timeline, but the initiative comes out of the freezer. Tomás Cipriano Mejía, Medellín's Secretary of Economic Development, confirmed that there is feasibility.
The project was aired in the last administration of Alonso Salazar, but now the option is seen to strengthen it, given the relevance of consolidating a technological work in the areas of security and, in turn, extending that experience in other Colombian departments and municipalities.
Ricardo Salgado, manager of the Urban Security Company (ESU), said that the road is clear because business alliances have already been formed in video surveillance and other areas that bear fruit in reducing crime.
The services of that alliance, he said, have already been contracted, for example, by the Government to set up a video surveillance system on the road to Urabá and it was arranged on the island of San Andrés.
