Since 2000, ECLAC has been responsible for making the departmental competitiveness ladder in Colombia, taking into account the five pillars of competitiveness proposed by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), namely: 1) Government and institutions; 2) Economic development; 3) Productive infrastructure; 4) Human capital, and 5) Efficiency of companies. In addition, since 2013, the Private Competitiveness Council, together with the Center for Thinking on Competitive Strategies of the Universidad del Rosario (CEPEC), has carried out the Departmental Competitiveness Index. These results have become the basis of the analysis of competitiveness in each one of the Departments, allowing to evaluate the progress of the different socioeconomic variables that are measured there. The analysis suggests that competitiveness may acquire more relevance among the departments within small groups, for which Alternative Integration of Regional Competitiveness of the Departments of Antioquia, Magdalena and Meta is proposed; The growth and regional development policies are intended to gain relevance, with a proposal to strengthen infrastructure, human capital and innovation processes.
