FinTech, Energy and Infrastructure: The Sectors That Will Attract the Most Investment in 2026

Corporate attorney Julia Velásquez was featured in an interview with Valora Analitik about trends in Colombia's mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market. She explained that acquisition activity between Millicom y Telefónica and sale of Grupo Nutresa marked a milestone in the country's corporate history because these megaoperations made up for the decrease in number of transactions and elevated investment in local markets.
