MIPYME DIGITAL
“MiPyme Digital” is an integrated ICT development project. It aims at expanding the strategically use of ICT in Colombian Small, Medium-sized and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) in order to make them more competitive, efficient and profitable. The main goal is to connect to Internet 70% of Colombian SMMEs in 2018. The baseline rate in 2010 was 7% of SMMEs connected. Some of its current action lines are: • Education and Awareness: seeks to raise awareness through disruptive courses about technology adoption within MSMEs to demonstrate the positive impact of ICT on their businesses. • E-commerce promotion: endeavors to increase the number of SMMEs buying and selling their products and services online. • Apps for SMMEs: promotes the implementation of Internet solutions for SMMEs that are part of the supply or demand chain of a large private company (called anchor company). This strategy has a direct positive impact on productivity and efficiency in the benefited enterprises.
