Shaping the Fourth Industrial Revolution: Inside Medellín’s C4IR with Catalina Restrepo

What happens when a city once defined by conflict becomes a global
hub for responsible innovation? In this episode of Der Große
Neustart speaks with Catalina Restrepo Carvajal, Executive Director
of the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR) Medellín
— the only C4IR in Latin America and part of a global network
created in collaboration with the World Economic Forum. From AI
education and digital health to ethical GovTech and climate-smart
urban design, Catalina shares how Medellín is leading Latin
America’s tech revolution — and what it means to build trust,
inclusion, and public value through emerging technologies. A
powerful conversation about dignity, systems change, and the future
we choose to create.
