OUR HISTORY
On 1985, with the joint effort and the contribution of several Colombian of social development entities dedicated to training such as Microempresas de Colombia, Interactuar, Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje - SENA, Cámara de Comercio, Fundación Social, Fenalco and SOCYA, created Promotora de Comercio Social, with the purpose to create, for the microenterprises of the country, more efficient commercial scenarios, difficult to constitute without experience and without entrepreneurial knowledge, aspects of which entrepreneurs lacked.
Since then we have worked for this purpose, growing with them and adapting to changes and new trends in national and international markets.
