BOGOTÁ, Colombia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Colombia consolidates its strategy of non-extractive foreign direct investment to convince the world that investing in this country always means more. As one of the most committed countries to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the Government, led by President Gustavo Petro, invites investors to place their trust and capital in the nation with the most robust democracy in Latin America.
According to Germán Umaña, Minister of Commerce, Industry, and Tourism, the country positions itself as a territory with a strong and flourishing economy, offering an ideal and unique environment for business opportunities. “Colombia seeks investments that contribute to economic growth, reducing inequality, promoting gender equity, and ultimately, building comprehensive peace, as well as positioning Colombia as a global power of life.”
One of the pillars supporting the notion that Colombia is a unique investment destination is its geostrategic location, which makes it an excellent export platform. Excellent air and maritime connections provide competitive delivery times, with access to the United States in just 5 days and access to the Netherlands and other European ports in 12 days. Additionally, Colombia has a network of 17 trade agreements that provide preferential access to 97% of the markets in the region, making it an ideal destination for reaching third markets.
