ALDEA+ — Business Acceleration Program (Programa de Aceleración Empresarial)

ALDEA+ — Programa de Aceleración Empresarial is iNNpulsa Colombia's acceleration route for high-growth startups in Colombia. iNNpulsa operates as the Government's entrepreneurship and innovation agency under the leadership of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism, and ALDEA+ sits under the Subgerencia de Emprendimiento e Inclusión Productiva as part of the YSA Colombia agenda. The program is aimed at ventures that already show market traction and can use public acceleration support to move into a more demanding growth phase. The call looks for startups with at least USD 20,000 in revenue in the prior year, at least one founder under 39, formal legal incorporation, and no more than 10 years of commercial operations. It uses frontier technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, biotechnology, and IoT, and the 2025 edition selected up to 100 startups per cohort. Support can reach 80 hours of customized mentoring and commercial-expansion work, with attention to technological sophistication, financial leverage, and global expansion. For applicants, the practical fit is a company that already has customers, operating data, and a clear scaling story rather than a concept-stage idea. The program is strongest for teams that can convert technical depth into exportable growth, because the support is built around business expansion as much as product development. Its value lies in expert guidance and market-readiness work rather than direct capital.
