Bogotá-Region Grew 5.3% in Foreign Investment Projects in 2025 and Consolidated Its Position Among the Top Three Cities in Latin America

by

While foreign direct investment (FDI) declined across most regions of the world during 2025, the Bogotá-Region maintained positive momentum and strengthened its position as one of the leading investment destinations in Latin America.

According to the latest Greenfield and Expansion Foreign Direct Investment Report for the Bogotá-Region, prepared by Invest in Bogotá, the city-region recorded 119 foreign investment projects in 2025, representing a 5.3% increase compared to the previous year.

This result contrasts with the global outlook, which was marked by a 17.2% decline in greenfield and expansion investment projects worldwide and an 11.5% contraction across Latin America and the Caribbean.

In this context, Bogotá consolidated its position as the third leading city in Latin America in terms of foreign investment projects and the second-fastest-growing among the region’s main FDI destination capitals, with a growth rate of 32.6%. In addition, it was the only Colombian city ranked within the regional top 10.

The report also showed that the Bogotá-Region accounted for more than 51% of all foreign investment projects arriving in Colombia during 2025, reaffirming its role as the country’s main hub for attracting investment.

Retail and consumer products, corporate services, and software and IT services led foreign investment inflows, accounting for 69% of the projects announced for the city-region.

Among the year’s most notable projects were the arrival of multinational company Electronic Arts, with an estimated investment of USD 120 million; Scania’s new regional headquarters, valued at USD 63.7 million; a USD 28 million data center project by Equinix; and a renewable energy initiative by Zelestra worth more than USD 20 million.

The United States remained the leading source country for investment in the Bogotá-Region, accounting for 27.7% of FDI projects, followed by Spain and Germany. Europe also strengthened its presence in the city-region, representing 37% of all foreign investment projects announced during 2025.

In terms of employment, the projects announced during the year are expected to generate more than 13,400 new jobs, particularly in activities related to business services, support centers, technology, and corporate operations.

The report concluded that, despite a challenging global environment and the slowdown of investment in strategic sectors worldwide, the Bogotá-Region maintained favorable momentum thanks to stronger competitiveness, multinational confidence, and the consolidation of key sectors linked to the knowledge economy and global services.
