Mapping Colombia’s entrepreneurship & enterprise growth landscape

<h3>Key findings</h3>
<p>The entrepreneurial ecosystem as it currently stands is driven by the government and implemented in regional urban hubs by local chambers of commerce. It is a fragmented ecosystem that lacks diversity, sustainability and reach. The growth of the ecosystem is evolving to serve tech and digital opportunities and it may leave the marginalized rural populations behind. There are high quality organisations in Colombia that are supporting different types of businesses. These organisations have the potential to grow their offering, connect more with each other through collaborations, and prepare enterprises for investment. An active impact investment community is ready to offer financing if they can find the right investable businesses. Funders and organisations need however to fill gaps to ensure a holistic approach to SME growth.</p>
