Beckham: el arquitecto del sueño americano versión 3.0 (desde Miami)

(Por Ortega-Maqueda, con la colaboración de Maurizio) La figura de David Beckham merece un análisis específico. Pocas personas en la historia del deporte han logrado la transición de atleta de élite a magnate empresarial con tal maestría. Su patrimonio neto estimado supera los  USD $450 millones, pero su verdadero capital es intangible: la capacidad de visualizar futuros y materializarlos.

Freedom Park: ¿por qué primero generaron una cultura y mega experiencias, para hacer realidad la metamorfosis arquitectónica que redefinirá Miami?

(Por Taylor) En el epicentro de una transformación urbana sin precedentes, Miami se apresta a inaugurar no simplemente un recinto deportivo, sino un catalizador generacional que promete reconfigurar la experiencia urbana del siglo XXI. El Miami Freedom Park —131 acres de ambición arquitectónica, visión empresarial y diseño experiencial— representa la convergencia de tres fuerzas imparables: el capital global, la innovación inmobiliaria y el magnetismo cultural de una metrópolis que no conoce límites.

Cantón 2025 como espejo del Comercio 2030: T¡tres tendencias que redefinen el juego para el mercado global y local (parte III)

(Cobertura exclusiva  desde China) La Feria de Cantón no es un supermercado gigante. Es una universidad de comercio global condensada en 15 días. Los importadores exitosos invierten tanto tiempo en observar tendencias, analizar competencia y entender procesos de fabricación como en negociar precios. Pero también, la importancia estratégica para occidente es crear el mega mundo de marcas, ya no de producto, sino de vivencias, experiencias, valor que Asia no puede generar en fábricas.

El Proyecto “Galáctico” 2026: Inter Miami busca blindar el arco para el año del Freedom Park (los nombres que suenan en Brickell)

(Por Ortega-Taylor) En el ajedrez estratégico del fútbol moderno, cada pieza cuenta. Y mientras Lionel Messi acapara titulares con su renovación hasta 2028, el Inter Miami ejecuta en silencio una ingeniería de plantel que podría redefinir los estándares competitivos de la MLS. La última ficha en ese tablero tiene nombre propio: Pedro Gallese, el guardameta de 35 años que defiende los colores de Perú y que actualmente milita en Orlando City, clásico rival de las Garzas.

El contexto hiper competitivo: una MLS que no perdona (cuando fútbol es además real estate, marcas y crossing marketing)

(Por Taylor y Ortega, con Maurizio) Muchas cosas se han vuelto extremadamente competitivas en Miami. La MLS de 2026 no será la misma que recibió a Messi en 2023. La liga ha experimentado una metamorfosis competitiva acelerada: fichajes de alto perfil desde Europa y Sudamérica, inversiones millonarias en academias juveniles, y una infraestructura que cada vez se asemeja más a las grandes ligas del mundo.
