That is why it is very important to have an implementation planning of equipment that generates a great contribution in the town’s social and territorial transformation, as well as to consolidate the community and the development of productive activities. Therefore, the objective is to develop a planning strategy that, by grouping together public and private companies specialized in a certain product or activity (Cluster), achieve economic organization for Soacha as a key part to consolidate a business node as the main town’s focus decreasing the administrative and operational burden in Bogotá.
