What PBG Group does

PBG Group is a privately held Colombian professional services firm headquartered in Medellín that operates as a Territorial Innovation Operator (Operador de Innovación Territorial). Founded in 2014, the company structures, formulates, and manages high-impact projects in science, technology, innovation, and social territorial development for Colombian government institutions (departmental governorships, municipalities, ministries, and national security entities) and select private and academic clients including Claro, SENA, Agrosavia, and Universidad Industrial de Santander. The firm delivers across eight service areas: Agro and Rural Development, Education and Training, Mobility and Road Safety, Technology and Innovation, Tourism/Culture/Heritage, Economic Development and Employability, Risk Management and Environmental Sustainability, and Social and Cultural Infrastructure.

The company's core methodology is its proprietary IA + IH + IC integration model, which combines Artificial Intelligence (data analytics and automation for territorial understanding), Human Intelligence (local knowledge and community experience), and Collective Intelligence (articulating public, private, academic, and community actors) to co-create context-appropriate solutions for Latin American territories. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no patents or trademarks; it relies on organic relationship-based growth through 30+ institutional allies and direct government engagement via WhatsApp, website contact forms, and social channels. Revenue mechanics are project-based professional services with no publicly disclosed pricing, no software product, and no documented technology platform beyond internal analytics capabilities.
