And this has been reflected in the industrial part with the arrival of companies that have bet on this territory, which have seen a fertile land in terms of production, also strengthening Atlantic business development.
For Diana Cantillo Concha, director of the Eastern Atlantic Business Corporation (CEO), today the business development of the Department is not only concentrated in the metropolitan area of Barranquilla in municipalities such as Soledad, Galapa, Puerto Colombia and Malambo, but has begun to expand to the eastern Atlantic.

“We have seen how very important projects have begun in different sectors such as agribusiness in the south of the Atlantic, and also renewable energies in that entire central area such as Sabanalarga, Baranoa and Galapa,” Cantillo highlighted in dialogue with EL HERALDO.
