The Bogota Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with the Colegio de Estudios Superiores de Administración (CESA), presents the Corporate Venturing 2024 Program.
Since 2021, the Bogota Chamber of Commerce has been working with more than 30 corporations in Bogota and the Region within the Corporate Venturing Program; accompanying innovation teams in the understanding, construction and development of strategies that enable continuous work with the country's high-impact entrepreneurship ecosystem so they can boost their disruption and innovation processes and build relationships with startups that will streamline their internal processes, create new lines of business and/or projects. Among them are: Gasco, Grupo de Energía de Bogotá, Servientrega, Previsora Seguros, AR Construcciones, Alpina, among others.
