Cundinamarca Millennium Municipalities, Colombia, Can Become Competitive

Abstract

In 2011, the Business Administration program at the Universidad Piloto of Colombia promoted the research project entitled "Business Creation, Development, and Modernization Model for the Transfer of Soft Technologies in the Capital Region", within the framework of the Latin American Regional Studies Research Group (GERL). The objective of this initiative was to design and structure an Entrepreneurship Center in the so-called Millennium Municipalities of Cundinamarca, Colombia, starting with those located in the provinces of Lower Magdalena and Gualivá. This will generate six different and relevant undergraduate graduation projects aimed at addressing the problems and proposing solutions regarding the dynamics of the sugar cane production chain, tourism, diversification of products, reforestation for commercial purposes, entrepreneurship, and education. These initiatives will provide inputs for a book of case studies.
