About Us
The Consucol Think Tank is a premium think tank specialized in generating strategic knowledge on coexistence, well-being and territorial prospective. We were born with the conviction that rigorous, contextualized and projected information is the basis for making decisions that transform realities.
Our Purpose
We believe that coexistence and foresight are fundamental pillars for the sustainable development of territories. We work to transform data into decisions, and decisions into desirable futures. We offer analysis with technical rigor, territorial vision and advocacy capacity.
We convert information into strategic knowledge to improve coexistence and the future of Colombia and Latin America.
