In Córdoba, the Xponential Córdoba 2026 program has opened applications for a free eight-week startup incubation initiative. Launched by the Club de Emprendedores, CorLab, and ASETEC, the program utilizes Exponential Organization (ExO) methodology and AI-driven diagnostics to help startups scale. The cohort is limited to 15 spots, with a goal of ensuring at least half of the founding teams include women. Applications are open until October 2.

In Cartago, pre-registration is open for a free sociocultural management training program scheduled for 2027. A collaboration between the Universidad Estatal a Distancia (UNED) and the Ministry of Culture and Youth, the program offers six courses across three cycles in a hybrid format. The initiative aims to strengthen community cultural projects and is open to community leaders, artists, and cultural managers. Pre-registration remains open until October 23, with a maximum capacity of 30 participants.
