Characterisation of youth entrepreneurship in Medellín-Colombia using machine learning

The aim of this paper is to identify profiles of young Colombian entrepreneurs based on data from the “Youth Entrepreneurship” survey developed by the Colombian Youth Secretariat. Our research results show five profiles of entrepreneurs, mainly differentiated by age and entrepreneurial motives, as well as the identification of relevant skills, capacities, and capabilities for entrepreneurship, such as creativity, learning, and leadership. The sample consists of 633 young people aged between 14 and 28 years in Medellín. The data treatment was approached through cluster analysis using the K-means algorithm to obtain information about the underlying nature and structure of the data. These data analysis techniques provide valuable information that can help to better understand the behaviour of Colombian entrepreneurs. They also reveal hidden information in the data. Therefore, one of the advantages of using statistical and artificial intelligence techniques in this type of study is to extract valuable information that might otherwise go unnoticed. The clusters generated show correlations with profiles that can support the design of policies in Colombia to promote an entrepreneurial ecosystem and the creation and development of new businesses through business regulation

Technological platforms in agriculture 4.0: an overview of the development in Colombia

Introducción— Las Plataformas Tecnológicas-PT son una de las herramientas más transcendentales para incrementar la competitividad de las industrias y, por ende, de un país, al generar innovación y la transferencia de tecnologías y generación de nuevos conocimientos. Objetivos— La presente revisión tiene como propósito identificar las principales características de las plataformas tecnológicas, relacionadas con la Agricultura que han sido desarrolladas en Colombia. Metodología— En una primera fase el estudio analiza el marco conceptual de agricultura 4.0 y en una segunda fase se identifican las características, prácticas y aspectos relevantes de 3 PT, en las áreas de geo-informática, la variabilidad climática y desarrollo agrícola puestas a disposición, por la Corporación Colombiana de Investigación Agropecuaria-AGROSAVIA. Esta investigación es abordada desde el método inductivo dado que este razonamiento es de gran utilidad, al establecer un vínculo de unión entre teoría y observación. Resultados— Una primera etapa se desarrolló mediante el enfoque exploratorio-descriptivo y en una fase final se presenta la construcción de las características de cada una de las PT desarrolladas para el uso en la agricultura. Conclusiones— Los procesos de investigación y de análisis da como resultado el establecimiento de los principales beneficios y retos de las PT para impulsar la agricultura.Introduction— Technological Platforms-TP constitute one of the most important tools to increase the competitiveness of industries and, therefore, of a country, by promoting innovation and technology transfer and the generation of new knowledge. Objetive— The purpose of this study is to identify the main characteristics of the technological platforms related to Agriculture that have been developed in Colombia. Metodology— In a first phase the study analyzes the conceptual framework of agriculture 4.0 and in a second phase the characteristics, practices, and relevant aspects of 3 TP are identified, in the areas of geo-informatics, climate change and climate variability made available for the agricultural sector, by the Colombian Agricultural Research CorporationAGROSAVIA. This research is approached from the inductive method since this reasoning is very useful, by establishing a link between theory and observation. Results— A first stage was developed through the exploratory-descriptive approach, in a final phase the construction of the characteristics of each of the PTs developed for use in agriculture by AGROSAVIA is presented as cases. Conclusions— The research and analysis processes result in the establishment of the main benefits and challenges of the PTs both to promote agriculture
