APPS.CO is Colombia's MinTIC digital-entrepreneurship support program, spanning Product Digital, Business Model, Growth Tech, and Immersion tracks. The official overview was updated June 24, 2026 and explicitly says APPS.CO provides no seed capital; however, the public calls page currently exposes older closed opportunities, so no live beneficiary deadline is attached.
