High level logistics center
Strategik, a visionary company, is leading an ambitious project to convert Ibagué and Tolima into a cutting-edge logistics center in Colombia. Its vision is to highlight the unique attributes of the region, such as its strategic location, advanced infrastructure and operational capacity, to attract domestic and international investments.
According to DANE, In 2024 Tolima has 1.04 million people over 18 years: 533,042 women (51.2%) and 507,573 men (48.8%). In addition, its commitment to tourism and local development has turned the region and its capital into a center of attention for multinationals.
Currently, Tolima and Ibagué lack an effective communication strategy to position them as industrial destinations, and face the challenge of attracting investment. However, Strategik is implementing various strategies to promote the region as a key logistics destination, with an increase of 50.8% in imports between 2021 and 2022, mainly in agroindustrial products.
