Aruba. ATech, the event being held for the second year in a row, will take place at the Hilton Aruba Hotel and will focus on discussing the future of technology in the travel and hospitality industry, the financial industry, advances in IoT (the Internet of Things), and investment in startups.

The meeting will feature 22 world-class speakers who will have inspiring talks for: entrepreneurs, investors, students, creatives, NGOs, marketing professionals and entrepreneurs. And is that after all, who does not serve to know more about technology for your business or even your personal brand? 

Among her most attractive guests are Kelly Hoey, named by Forbes as one of five women who are changing the world of entrepreneurship; Boris Veldhuijzen Van Zanten, member of the Startup Europe Leaders Club, the organization that seeks to improve the business climate for entrepreneurs in Europe and support them with defined roles in their growth; Gillian Morris, co-founder of Hitlist, an app that alerts users when there are cheap flights to make the trip of their dreams. The app has been recognized in 83 countries as the best; Heather Gallagher, chief technology officer of the Burning Man event that every September brings together tens of thousands of people in the Black Rock desert in Nevada (USA).

In addition to academic talks, attendees will be able to choose from 12 workshops that include: social media, travel influencer, business plan, networking and relationship building, business innovation, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, service design, etc.

Within the framework of the event, the entrepreneurship competition will also be held, which will reward the winners with 20 thousand dollars in cash and services from Amazon, Sendgrid and CodeSchool. Of the 150 initiatives registered, 12 were chosen that will compete with their projects during three rounds at the event. There are participants from the United States, Mexico, Aruba, Venezuela, Holland, Tel Aviv among others.

Aruba has already emerged as a destination that offers more than sun, sea, and sand. They have also highlighted its offer in luxury shopping and its potential as a sustainable destination. Now with ATech, the happy island is committed to creating a competitive business environment, a technology hub in the Caribbean and creating a favorable investment climate. A more strategic step to diversify its economic pillars.
