We’ve always appreciated their mission to help the Colombian startup community connect with the world. Combining our curriculum with their mission was an ideal next step in growing our partnership while providing more value to the communities in which we serve.”
The preparation and knowledge of companies trained by partners such as Media Tech Venture, will allow Colombia to offer companies seeking a new international market, effective internationalization strategies and access to reliable networks of potential customers, as well as minimizing risks, adapt the offer to the market and alignment with the cultural factor.
