Competitiveness
Cities and regions around the world compete to position themselves as attractive places to invest, have high quality of life standards and a solid business fabric. To this end, it is essential to define strategies and policies aimed at promoting a favorable environment for the creation of productive and sustainable companies under formal conditions, facilitating productive transformation and expanding opportunities for knowledge and entrepreneurship for their inhabitants in order to generate employment and quality income.
To this end, the CCB facilitates interaction between public and private actors for the identification, formulation and management of projects and initiatives that foster a favorable environment for the development of productive activity and business in the city and the region, through three main lines of action of public-private articulation.
Identifies and manages issues and projects of public-private articulation in strategic innovation

Measuring Innovation in Bogota and Cundinamarca
The CCB periodically carries out regional innovation measurements for Bogota and Cundinamarca.
Since 2005 and, on average every five years, the CCB, together with the Cinnco Group of the Universidad Javeriana, has been carrying out a regional measurement of innovation for Bogotá and Cundinamarca; these studies make it possible to compare the performance and dynamics of innovation with other regions of the world.
The guiding principle of this work is international and national comparability. At the international level, references such as the Oslo Manual are taken into account and comparability with the Community Innovation Survey (CIS) of the European Union is privileged. At the national level, comparability between the first and second Regional Innovation Survey for the manufacturing industry conducted in 2005 and 2010 is kept, in order to identify changes in the innovative performance of the region.

Participation in articulation and public policy scenarios
The CCB actively participates in different instances of public policy on innovation issues.
The CCB participates in the District Commission for Science, Technology and Innovation (Codiciti) and the Departmental Council for Science, Technology and Innovation of Cundinamarca (Codecyt), public policy bodies led by the Mayor's Office of Bogota and the Government of Cundinamarca on innovation issues.

Regional Competitiveness
Promotes spaces for consultation to formulate and manage projects that improve the business environment and the quality of life of the inhabitants of Bogota.
Regional Competitiveness Commission
The Regional Competitiveness Commission (CRC) functions as a space for public-private articulation for the improvement of competitiveness in the region.
Since 2001, the CRC of Bogota and Cundinamarca has operated continuously through a voluntary agreement as a space for public-private coordination to promote a favorable environment for the sustainable generation of wealth and increased quality of life for its inhabitants. The public-private articulation work began in 2001 with the creation of the Regional Competitiveness Council, today the Commission, under the framework of the National Competitiveness System.
This concerted work process has been strengthened through the articulation of technical and financial efforts between the public, business and academic sectors of the region for the implementation of projects to improve the business environment in the areas of internationalization, innovation, productive linkages, business development, sustainable development and infrastructure.
Currently, the CRC of Bogotá and Cundinamarca is in the process of strengthening its conceptual and organizational structure, which allows the region to have a space for public-private cooperation, with the capacity to generate, structure and implement projects that promote competitiveness, innovation and sustainable development in the region.
Environment monitoring and improvement system for Bogota businesses
The system identifies obstacles to the business environment and allows determining actions to overcome them.
The Bogota Business Environment Monitoring and Improvement System is a mechanism for integrating public and private entities to identify obstacles to the business environment in Bogota, to propose and manage actions to overcome them, and to follow up on the business environment climate.
This public-private initiative involves the Bogota Investment Promotion Agency (Invest in Bogota), the Bogota Regional Andi, the District Secretariat of Economic Development and the CCB.
The Bogotá Business and Investment Climate Survey is currently being applied to 6,450 companies, the results of which constitute the baseline for prioritizing obstacles.
Cluster environment support
Initiatives to improve the business environment for clusters.
Through dialogue with strategic public and private entities and actors at the national, departmental and district levels, we support clusters in identifying possible areas of improvement for their environment, through proposals for regulatory adjustments, generation of support instruments from the national, departmental or district governments, public policy proposals, calls for proposals and spaces for analysis and socialization of strategic issues, among others.
We also promote the identification of actors, programs and strategic lines of action defined by public entities and academia that can contribute to the improvement of the clusters' environment.
