STP of PANDO manage the INDUSTRIAL PARK OF PANDO
40 ha to link knowledge generation with productive chains and spilling over the region

10. Opportunities for doing business in the region
• The canary departmental gross product stands at US $ 4,860 million.
• 25% of departamental GDP concentrated in the STP area of influence
• The departamental government is promoting the development of an innovation
axis between the airport and Pando City.
• Specialized human resources and research capacities locally available and already
experienced in working close with industry
• Important private and public investments in infrastructures for innovation (world
class datacenter, roads and highways to connect the area with the airport and
harbor, etc.)
