Market Entry Strategy
Construction
Bogota, Cali and Medellin, Colombia
Strategy
Challenge
A US construction and engineering firm was seeking to enter the Colombian market to support development projects such as schools, medical facilities, community centers and sustainable economic development projects in support of the Plan Colombia aid and development initiative. Lacking the in-depth knowledge necessary to conduct business in Colombia, the client required the assistance of a consultancy with expertise operating in the country.
Solution

To facilitate the firm's market entry, Madison Springfield identified and engaged reputable local partners and supported the consummation of joint venture agreements. Finally, Madison Springfield provided early-stage operational support while the company began to put its local workforce in place.
Result
In less than six months, Madison Springfield was able to identify unsatisfied market needs, facilitate essential local partnerships, and position the company to be a preferred vendor for development projects.
