Colombia’s association representing ride-hailing companies like DiDi and Uber has elected a new board as the country undergoes a change in government. The election occurred as the sector faces evolving regulatory landscapes and increased scrutiny. A 2022 study by Fedesarrollo, a Colombian economic research center, indicated that mobility and delivery platforms contributed 0.2% to the nation’s GDP. This suggests a growing economic impact from these services. The new leadership will likely navigate policy changes under the incoming administration. The timing of the election signals the industry’s proactive approach to engaging with the government. Further details regarding the specific board members and their priorities have not yet been released.
