AmCham Colombia’s 2026 National Business Matchmaking event generates COP 890 Million in potential business opportunities

11 de November de 2026

The event brought together 49 companies from Bogotá, Medellín, Cundinamarca, Bucaramanga, and Armenia for 300 B2B meetings aimed at building strategic partnerships, generating new business opportunities, and expanding market reach.

BOGOTÁ, November 10, 2026 (AmCham Colombia) — Colombian companies participating in the 2026 National Business Matchmaking Event, organized by the Colombian American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham Colombia), reported COP 890 million in potential business opportunities following 300 business-to-business (B2B) meetings among 49 participating companies.

María Claudia Lacouture, President of AmCham Colombia, highlighted the event’s role in connecting businesses across industries and regions.

“This year’s event brought together companies from different sectors and regions of Colombia for an intensive networking experience that enabled participants to identify concrete opportunities for buying, selling, sourcing, and establishing commercial partnerships,” Lacouture said.

The event welcomed companies from Bogotá, Medellín, Cundinamarca, Bucaramanga, and Armenia, representing 15 sectors of the economy: technology, software, and digital services; consulting and business services; industry, engineering, and manufacturing; logistics, transportation, and international trade; food, beverages, and agribusiness; healthcare and wellness; human resources and professional training; textiles, fashion, and apparel; retail and consumer goods; construction and infrastructure; tourism, hospitality, and events; financial services and insurance; chemicals and pharmaceuticals; security and risk management; and legal services.

For participating business leaders, the event provided an opportunity to connect with prospective customers and partners, establish strategic relationships, identify commercial opportunities, and expand their market presence.

One example was Alliance Risk & Protection, which held eight business meetings and developed an extensive network of contacts to pursue new commercial opportunities and enter 2027 with a stronger business pipeline.

“The event was closely aligned with our business objectives. We are looking to expand our presence in the private sector, and we had the opportunity to meet with companies where we want to introduce our security and technology services. This event also gave us easier and more direct access to key decision-makers in areas such as Procurement, Operations, and Human Resources, whom we would not normally be able to reach,” said María Angélica Valderrama, Business Director for Colombia at Alliance Risk & Protection.

Esteban García, Senior Consultant at Holland & Knight Colombia, emphasized the productivity of the event and the value of connecting with companies across multiple industries.

“I had the opportunity to speak with business leaders and identify synergies in areas such as technology, talent recruitment, and technical systems for knowledge development. These are opportunities I would not necessarily have pursued directly, but I discovered potential business niches in each of those conversations,” García said.

Mauricio Castro, Business Development Manager at Quick.us, highlighted the event’s value for companies involved in the sale, import, and export of goods, as well as those seeking to establish new commercial relationships.

“This is an event we would recommend to any company. We were able to meet people from our industry who were interested in our business and, most importantly, in building relationships that will help us continue growing in the market over the long term,” Castro said.

The importance of face-to-face business networking was also emphasized by Luis González, Managing Partner at Contor Business, who traveled from Cali to attend the event.

“This event was essential for connecting with other companies. Although there are many ways to attract customers, being there in person and having the opportunity to introduce yourself directly makes a real difference. That is why this event was so valuable in raising awareness of our brand and the services we offer,” González said.

The National Business Matchmaking Event is part of AmCham Colombia’s ongoing initiatives to strengthen business connections among companies across industries and regions throughout the country.

“At AmCham Colombia, we promote these initiatives not only to generate new commercial opportunities but also to enhance productivity and support the international expansion of Colombian businesses,” Lacouture concluded.
