Bogotá consolidates its position as one of the main cities with the most technological jobs in Latin America, according to a report.

Bogotá has established itself as one of the most important technology hubs in Latin America, according to CBRE's annual Scoring Tech Talent report.

The Colombian capital is expected to have a total of 110,580 technology jobs in 2024, with a 30% growth over the past five years , placing it among the most dynamic cities in the region.

The report, which examines the main tech talent markets, analyzes variables such as workforce size, salaries, degree completion rates in related fields, and office and housing costs.

The study includes 11 Latin American cities along with 75 centers in the United States and Canada, and in the case of Latin America reveals a high concentration of talent in markets such as Mexico City, which leads with 320,000 technology workers and a 95% growth , followed by Sao Paulo, with 255,306 professionals and an increase of 21%.

Other notable cities include Santiago de Chile, with 143,392 jobs, and Buenos Aires, with 118,138, both with increases of 14% and 39%, respectively . According to the figures, Bogotá ranks fifth in the region in terms of technological talent, although its growth is higher than that of markets like Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, or Santiago.

“Bogotá has been strengthening its position as a regional technology hub thanks to the quality of its universities, the dynamism of its business ecosystem, and the growing attraction of global companies seeking qualified and cost-competitive talent,” said Yazmín Ramírez, Senior Director of Labor Analytics & Location Incentives LATAM at CBRE. She added that the sustained expansion of the city's workforce is acting as a magnet for software, engineering, and advanced manufacturing companies that are expanding or relocating operations across the continent.

The document highlights that this is the sixth year that the classification of Latin American markets has been compiled, based solely on the size of the technology workforce. However, variables related to office costs, salary trends, and the housing market, as well as the number of graduates from technology-related academic programs, are also analyzed. Together, the 11 Latin American markets have 1,042,951 technology jobs, with an average growth of 55% over five years , demonstrating the region's growing importance in the digital economy.

Cities like Guadalajara contribute 61,644 technology jobs, a 54% increase, while San José, Costa Rica, has 58,463 jobs, a 24% increase. Monterrey shows faster growth, with 49,798 positions and a 112% increase, the highest rate on the list.

Smaller markets such as Montevideo (23,573), Campinas (22,060) and Panama City (20,195) are also part of this ecosystem, although with more moderate growth rates of 21% and 33% depending on the case.

In addition to the total number of jobs, the CBRE report indicates that Bogotá stood out in other key indicators:
