Colombia Inteligente

Colombia Inteligente is a MinCiencias grant call for applied research, technology development, and innovation in quantum sciences and artificial intelligence. The 2026 cycle, Convocatoria 976, sits under the ministry’s broader science and innovation portfolio and is aimed at projects with a regional development angle in Colombia. The call carried a budget of COP 24,000,000,000 in 2026. It is open to Colombian-registered companies, universities, research organizations, and nonprofits, while individuals are not eligible. The documentation and application materials are in Spanish, and the call was already closed by the March 2026 deadline. The best fit is a project team that can frame quantum or AI work as applied development with visible regional impact rather than as abstract research. Strong proposals will be organized around implementation, collaboration, and a clear development use case inside Colombia, ideally with a pathway to deployment rather than a one-off study. It favors organized consortia with clear roles.
