Bogotá, Colombia – June 20, 2024 – On the morning of June 18th, Tengiva, a technology company providing solutions for the textile supply chain, hosted an exclusive breakfast event at the Canadian Embassy in Bogotá. This private gathering brought together a select group of industry leaders to delve into the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in the textile supply chain.
Colombia, an important player in the global textile market, was selected for this event because of its strategic significance and long-standing position in the Latin American textile industry. Colombia has been a major player globally, providing high-quality fabrics with exports totaling over US$962.6 million, according to ProColombia and the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Tourism.
