What are ZASCAs?

They are physical spaces that seek to provide comprehensive technical assistance for the popular economy and microenterprises to improve productivity, foster business growth, access new markets, promote associative processes and generate financial connections, based on the productive vocation or commercial activity according to their location.

What services do they offer?

The productive units, microenterprises and companies in general will have access to physical infrastructure; specialized machinery or technology; training and support services for the development of their productive processes; specialized accompaniment and business relationship spaces.

Under a methodology called ZASCA, developed by iNNpulsa Colombia, a team of professionals specialized in the productive sector will provide support to ensure strengthening, based on a route comprising three components: productive development, development of the self and community development.

All productive units linked to Bogota y Región will be accompanied by a business consultant from the Bogota Chamber of Commerce to strengthen their business model.
