The talent, resources and ideas of the Americas must translate into greater investment, more businesses and more jobs. To achieve this, our countries need integrated ecosystems that connect nearshoring, innovation, energy, financing and talent.
Through @OAS_Development and together with @riacnetorg, #ACEBarranquilla2026 connects public, private sector and academic leaders with strategic industry clusters to turn ideas into productive partnerships and help opportunities scale across the region.
The 24th edition of ACE is taking place in Barranquilla 🇨🇴, one of Latin America’s most dynamic hubs for industry, energy, trade and talent. At the confluence of the Magdalena River and the Caribbean Sea, the city connects domestic production with global markets.
This exchange is made possible through joint efforts with @alcaldiabquilla, @ProBaq and @USAmbOAS.
Latin America and the Caribbean must claim their -our!- rightful place in the global economy. With nearly one billion people across the Americas, extraordinary talent and resources, and enormous capacity for innovation, our hemisphere should have a stronger global economic footprint.
At the opening of the #ACEBarranquilla2026, my message was clear: integration must translate into action. This is the perfect spot for that: Since 2014, the Americas Competitiveness Exchange (ACE) has built a network of public, private and academic leaders across the Americas and beyond, generating more than 300 projects, cooperation agreements and verified collaborations.
Now we must go further: more connections between our businesses, more trade and investment, stronger regional value chains, and greater cooperation on technology, AI and the industries of the future. Governments must help remove the practical barriers to doing business, while the private sector invests, innovates and creates jobs.
The @OAS_official will continue strengthening ACE as an engine for integration. Greater prosperity strengthens stability, builds trust and creates the foundations for lasting peace.
My thanks to Mayor @AlejandroChar, @alcaldiabquilla, @ProBaq and @USAmbOAS for their partnership and support, and for making this important exchange possible in Colombia.

Fue un placer recibir a una delegación de la #GuardiaDiFinanza de Italia, encabezada por el Tte. Gral. Vito Gianpaolo Augelli, junto al Embajador de @ItalyatOAS, Roberto Nocella.
Discutimos sobre el fortalecimiento de la cooperación para combatir el lavado de dinero y los flujos financieros ilícitos vinculados a la delincuencia organizada transnacional, al tiempo que avanzamos en la integridad y la transparencia financiera en nuestros Estados Miembros.
Reafirmamos nuestro compromiso de profundizar la cooperación entre la @OEA_oficial y la Guardia di Finanza para fortalecer la seguridad en las Américas. Asimismo, invité a la @GDF a participar en la próxima Conferencia Interministerial sobre Delincuencia Organizada de @OEA_seguridad y solicité un programa de fortalecimiento de capacidades dedicado a apoyar a los países de @CARICOMorg en la lucha contra la delincuencia organizada transnacional.
The Ta’Amay center in El Arenal features a bakery oven funded by Italy. Right next to the center, a soccer field is crossed by the Adjacency Line. Only friendly games are played here, thanks to @OAS_Official and @OEA_BelizeGuate!
We visited the Ta’Amay center in Melchor de Mencos during preparations for the meeting of the Group of Friends of Guatemala and Belize, and seized the opportunity to meet the local chefs.
