410 - Paths to Colombian Digital Transformation for SMEs

In this new episode of the Democracy that Delivers podcast, Adam Sachs, Program Manager for the Center for Digital Economy and Governance (CDEG), discusses the results of a recent study characterizing Colombian small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and their levels of digital adoption with Luz Stella Gómez, Manager of Financing and Technological Capabilities at iNNpulsa Colombia, and Pablo Lemoine, President of the Centro Nacional de Consultoría. This survey was conducted with input from 4,000 companies throughout Colombia, including those in regions most affected by conflict, as well as women-led and LGBTQ+-led enterprises. The study was a partnership between CIPE, iNNpulsa Colombia—the innovation and entrepreneurship agency of the Colombian government—and the Centro Nacional de Consultoría, one of Colombia's most prestigious and recognized surveying think tanks, which has worked with numerous companies and the national government. In collaboration with iNNpulsa, they also conducted the first version of the Digital Adoption Study in 2017.
