Of the 24 "most entrepeneur-friendly nations," Colombia has "the least well-developed culture of innovation and entrepreneurship", the BBC World Service concludeded Wednesday after a study among more than 24,000 citizens

Colombia scored 2.04 out of 4 when it comes to the country's entrepeneur-friendlyness against a global average of 2.49.

"Colombia has the least well-developed culture of innovation and entrepreneurship of all countries surveyed with an index of 2.04. Unlike Brazil, this is combined with a perception that it is both difficult to start one’s own business (67%) and pessimism regarding how innovation and creativity are valued in their country—only 30 per cent of Colombians think it is, the fourth lowest percentage among all countries surveyed and well below the global average of 55 per cent," says the World Service report.
