Camilo Lesmes is a tech entrepreneur and co-founder with over 20 years operating at the intersection of technology, innovation and social impact in Colombia, currently leading Factory AI to deliver practical AI solutions for SMEs, government and impact projects. An Electronic Engineer with a master's in Systems and Computing, he has directly managed CTeI projects funded by SGR and Minciencias totaling over $25 billion COP and led initiatives that collectively exceeded $63 billion COP, reaching 10,000+ beneficiaries in educational and business communities. He previously directed regional innovation hubs like ParqueSoft Meta y Amazorinoquía, taught systems engineering, and mentored startups through Apps.co, blending hands-on technical roots with ecosystem-building experience.
