Programs to support entrepreneurs

The CREEce program has been able to support more than 500 productive units during 2022. This program is developed together with INNpulsa Colombia and seeks to accompany companies in their formalization process, improve their value offer, build marketing and commercialization strategies, strengthen accounting and financial aspects, and human capital, among other issues.

Minicadenas seeks to develop local mini-chains, supply chains and commercial alliances and to strengthen the value chains of companies owned by victims of forced displacement and their capacity to add value, transform or commercialize, in order to achieve progress in commercial sustainability and/or formalization. This program is led by iNNpulsa Colombia and the Bogota Chamber of Commerce, with support from the Chambers of Commerce of Florencia, Ibagué, Tolima and Sur y Oriente del Tolima. To date, 63 productive units have been supported by the program.
