Over the past decades, Colombia has proven to be very friendly to foreign investment. In the second quarter of 2019, the country’s funding from abroad reached [$3855.17 million](https://tradingeconomics.com/colombia/foreign-direct-investment) showing a significant increase in comparison to the previous period. The local government initiates various programs like Fondo Emprender, a seed capital fund created by the Colombian government in 2002, to support local entrepreneurs. A crucial role in the country's development is played by organizations such as [Ruta N](https://www.rutanmedellin.org/es/), which is one of the major drivers in building an entrepreneurial ecosystem and improving people's lives through science, technology and innovation in Colombia. ![Seedstars World Competition in Latam](https://seedstars-com.s3.amazonaws.com/images/news33_1.width-800.jpg) ### **16 Winners of the Seedstars World Competition in Latam** During the previous years of Seedstars Word, we had a chance to discover bright startups such as [Rebajatuscuentas](https://www.seedstars.com/magazine/how-rebajatuscuentas-making-mortgage-loans-more-affordable-latam/), a financial advisor that helps people make better mortgage loan decisions in Peru, Mexico, and Colombia; Wisy, a solution that simplifies omnichannel engagement and enables companies to gain customer, product, brand and employee experience insights at any location via mobile experiences, and many more.
