WHAT IS MOMPOX INTELIGENTE?

Mompox Inteligente: Tradition + Innovation

It is a strategy promoted by Gobernación de Bolívar and Ministerio TIC to transform Santa Cruz de Mompox into a smart city, where technology serves people, culture, and the environment. It is a commitment to sustainable development and tourism with a heritage identity, without losing the essence that makes this magical town unique.


This project was internationally recognized as the best public sector initiative at the Smart City Expo Awards 2025, standing out as a model of digital transformation for intermediate territories with strong cultural roots.

WHY MOMPOX?

Santa Cruz de Mompox, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995, is a cradle of history, traditions, and cultural richness. Its people, art, and colonial architecture make it a living laboratory for socially conscious innovation, without breaking away from its roots.


Furthermore, it is a resilient territory in the face of challenges such as limited connectivity, environmental risks from flooding of the Magdalena River, and digital divides in rural areas. All of this makes it the ideal setting for a technological transformation with a human and territorial focus.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We want to bring technology into the everyday lives of Mompox residents and visitors, connecting the past with the future. Mompox Inteligente promotes a more participatory, connected, and sustainable city, where innovation translates into collective well-being.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

  • We are a replicable model for other intermediate territories.

  • We are committed to a digital transformation with a human focus.

  • We merge tradition, innovation and sustainability.

  • We actively involve the community in every step of the process.

 

This model was awarded the "Best Public Sector Smart City Initiative" award at Expo I Colombia 2025 for its inclusive approach, its impact on rural communities, and its commitment to social cohesion.

OUR SMART AND INCLUSIVE MODEL

Mompox Inteligente not only implements technology: it turns it into a tool for social transformation, inclusion, and sustainability. Through digital infrastructure, interoperable platforms, cultural narratives, citizen participation, and digital education, the model responds to real local needs and builds a more autonomous and connected community.
