As part of the efforts to continue supporting the consolidation of economic reactivation in companies, the Bogota Chamber of Commerce (CCB) launches the Economic Reactivation Program for the Creative, Cultural and Graphic Industries sector, a strategy that seeks to boost business through specialized programs to reactivate the creative, cultural and graphic industries, in addition to benefiting from the offer of the creative ecosystem of Bogota and the region, achieving increased sales and customers.
This program will update knowledge through training, workshops and capsules on topics such as intellectual property, positioning, digital marketing and new business models.
