Something big is happening in the Colombian Caribbean: Cartagena's technology companies decided to stop competing separately and to present themselves as a bloc. That is how the Núcleo TIC Caribe, a group of 18 technology-based companies from the District of Cartagena de Indias, backed by the Cartagena Chamber of Commerce, was born. GETS is one of them.
What is the Núcleo TIC Caribe?
It is a business cluster that brings together capabilities you would normally have to hire separately and in other cities: software factory, infrastructure and connectivity, data analytics, automation, IoT, artificial intelligence, video games and immersive experiences. Each company contributes a defined specialty, so the cluster covers the complete digitalization path with no gaps or overlaps, and with the advantage of proximity.
Five service lines
- Assessment and core connectivity: digital maturity, infrastructure, cybersecurity and IT support.
- Management systems and electronic invoicing: POS, ERP, hotel PMS, payroll and electronic documents with the DIAN.
- Custom software and artificial intelligence: applications, integrations, CRM, dashboards and applied AI. This is where GETS comes in.
- Automation, IoT and specialized verticals: automated processes, IoT for health and the city, business intelligence.
- Content, training and digital experience: video games, augmented and virtual reality, gamification and digital marketing.
The client hires a solution, not a list of vendors.
Eight sectors with turnkey packages
The cluster puts together offers that combine several companies for commerce and retail, tourism and hospitality, health, industry and logistics, the public sector and the city, digital transformation and AI, IT infrastructure and support, and cybersecurity. GETS takes part in all eight.
Cartagena 2050: legacy and future
The cluster's video sums it up very well: the same walls that kept centuries of history are today the foundation of the city's digital era. Caribbean culture does not step aside to let technology in; it embraces it and makes it its own. And the talent trained in Cartagena no longer has to leave to work in cutting-edge technology.
The challenge: closing the digital gap
Thousands of SMEs in Cartagena and Bolívar still have to take the step toward technology: according to iNNpulsa (2024), 42% of micro-businesses reach the most advanced levels of digital transformation, compared with 63% of medium-sized companies. That is why the cluster proposes lines of work such as the digital transformation of SMEs, an electronic invoicing path, a digital economy observatory, a local ICT supplier seal, talent training with universities, smart city projects and internationalization toward the Caribbean and North America.
