The tech landscape in Colombia witnessed a wave of creativity and innovation as Whale Cloud, in collaboration with Universidad de La Sabana, Claro Colombia, and Macondo Magic Softwares, hosted Sabana Hack 2023 from October 14th to 15th. This grand event brought together 30 dynamic teams comprising nearly 130 participants. Sabana Hack 2023 featured four major themes, each presenting its unique set of challenges. The theme set by Whale Cloud and Claro Colombia focused on “Claro SuperApp's Ecosystem Operation", setting the stage for innovation that would change the face of mobile applications in Colombia.

SuperApps, described as open ecosystems offering integrated and efficient daily experiences, are transforming the digital realm. Whale Cloud and Claro Colombia are pioneering the first Colombian SuperApp, aimed at revolutionizing the mobile app landscape. The competition theme they established inspired participants to address industry-specific challenges, develop mini-programs, seamlessly integrate them into the SuperApp, and craft business models that promote adoption. Eight teams participated, each delivering impressive mini-program solutions across sectors, including healthcare, retail, transportation, finance, and more.

It's truly inspiring to witness the abundance of passion and talent among the students. They harness their technical skills to craft mini applications and SuperApps, with the potential to catalyze innovation across various industries and pave the path towards a brighter future.

Here at Whale Cloud, we have always been eager to share our expertise in mini-program technology and SuperApp development, as well as collaborate with the brilliant young minds of Colombia. Together, let's pool our resources and make a real impact on the world.
