In the heart of Medellín, a scrappy robotics startup named RoboLat explodes onto the world stage, transforming from a university project into a global juggernaut under the relentless drive of CEO Felipe Chavira. When a daring acquisition in Taiwan thrusts RoboLat into the crosshairs of tech superpowers, Felipe and his multinational team are swept into a high-stakes game of industrial espionage, data wars, and political intrigue. As their fleet of robots—now rolling billboards and data gatherers—spreads from American campuses to Middle Eastern streets, the line between convenience and surveillance begins to blur, threatening not only user privacy but the company’s very soul. Beset by internal sabotage, labor unrest, and the ever-present threat of foreign manipulation, Felipe must navigate treacherous alliances with enigmatic technologists like Sming Lian, brash innovators such as Judah Longrave, and the hard-nosed rivals determined to pull RoboLat back down to earth. All the while, the company’s meteoric rise stirs both hope and resentment at home, as Colombia’s brain drain accelerates and local inventors fight for survival. In a world where every partnership is fragile and every decision could tip the balance between ethical innovation and unchecked ambition, Felipe faces the ultimate question: can he hold fast to his founding ideals, or will the relentless pursuit of global power force him to sacrifice everything that made RoboLat—and himself—unique?
