Bogota was named by Fortune magazine in the top 15 new cities in the world to do business, where international investors can find skilled workforce, solid infrastructure and potential customers.
This was published by the magazine's website and will be found by the readers of the printed version that will circulate next week around the world, thanks to the complete information about the benefits and business environment that city has that PROCOLOMBIA provided.
" A World Bank study recently ranked Colombia No. 2 in Latin America for entrepreneurs (it takes just days to incorporate a company) but large multinationals like Bogota too: Citibank and McDonald's have set up there, and call centers serving the world are proliferating in the city. Why? Colombians speak clear, unaccented Spanish&rdquo said the review that appears in the interactive map of Bogota.
The publication also noted that Bogota is becoming a paradise for those who love shopping and indicated that in the city are two of the largest malls in the country.
To make this selection, Fortune consulted corporate and economic development executives to determine where companies are opening new businesses taking into account among other factors, the age and prosperity of the locals.
Among the top 15 new cities are Salt Lake City and Austin in the United States Vancouver in Canada San Jose (Costa Rica) Santiago (Chile) Stockholm (Sweden) Warsaw (Poland) Lagos (Nigeria) Doha ( Qatar) Ahmedabad and Gurgaon (India) Melbourne (Australia) Chengdu and Chongqing (China).
Also, the magazine included a profile of four CEOs of these 15 cities that have outstanding international reputation. With the information provided by PROCOLOMBIA for Bogota, Fortune highlighted the work of Luis Muñ oz, the head of Juan Valdez " a five-year old company created by the Colombian Coffee Federation to boost revenue and prestige for Colombian grown coffee " .
Fortune outlined Bogota as a booming city for all multinationals that are moving offices there for its young, talented workforce and business-friendly government policies
The list of cities is part of the report that complements the annual Global 500, where for the first time a Colombian company, Ecopetrol, made the list.
