Co-Working Space Espacio Launches To Turn Medellin Into A Startup Hub

Got any nominees for the "Silicon Valley of Latin America"? If you're like me (i.e., ignorant) you're probably going "Um ..." However, the founders of a new co-working space and "entrepreneurial center" called Espacio are aiming to make Medellin, Colombia the answer to that question. "I grew up in Silicon Valley and New York, but even having had spent time there, I have decided to stay in Medellin because I see so much potential in this city," says co-founder Conrad Egusa, who also notes that Medellin was one of only two Latin American locations (along with Sao Paulo) to be a finalist in a Wall Street Journal advertorial poll on the most innovative cities in the world.
