BNI Avance Colombia

Founded in 2020, BNI Avance Colombia emerged from the global BNI (Business Network International) ecosystem, the world's largest professional referral marketing network with a presence in 75 countries and over 285,000 members. The chapter was established in Bogota, Colombia, with a clear mission: to foster meaningful, long-term relationships among professionals who believe business can be conducted differently—where transparency, generosity, responsibility, respect, and teamwork are not just ideals but everyday practices. BNI Avance Colombia was built on the conviction that in Colombia and around the world, business can be a win-win for everyone involved.

The chapter's focus is on generating reliable, vetted referrals that fuel sustainable growth for all participating enterprises.
