Recommendations for
Colombia
Invest in the country's education and promote careers such
as physics, chemistry and engineering.
Promote national entrepreneurship through financing and
advice that allow the ideas of entrepreneurs to come true.
Market size can be a downside. But the main one is the
competition for talent: hands are lacking (brains, in this
case). The country needs to open up and attract
entrepreneurs, programmers, designers, Marketing
experts.
In Latin America, it seems more complicated due to the
great influence of the United States on its culture, although
that does not prevent Colombia from doing such interesting
things
The last recommendation that I would make to Colombia is
that you do not copy the model as such, but adapt it
according to your conditions and needs.
