Impact Hub Colombia has existed since 2018 and the results demonstrated in our 2023 Impact Report show the experience that we as an organisation have accumulated on these issues (see https://medellin.impacthub.net/informe-de-gestion-empresarial). To date, our programmes have had the participation of almost 1,500 participants, who, through the capacity-building modules, have managed to indirectly generate over 600 jobs and an average increase of 80% in sales. Some of the companies that have participated in these programmes have received combined investments of up to USD $2,500,000.00 after going through them. Our programmes have achieved +1300 direct or indirect connections, through relationship exercises through figures such as Speed Networking or Demo Days. The previous numbers have been calculated based on the impact reports and the exit diagnoses carried out in each programme. Impact Hub Colombia is the official representative of the Enterprise Europe Network for Colombia: https://een.ec.europa.eu/. Since its launch in 2008, the Network has played a crucial role in facilitating the access of European SMEs to the Single Market and third-country markets.
