| description | The number of migrants from Venezuela in Colombia has increased substantially. Due to its geographical location with an extended border, Bucaramanga has been one of the main cities receiving this migratory flow. This article characterizes the business initiatives developed by Venezuelan migrants in Bucaramanga between 2010 and 2018, through three dimensions of analysis: sociodemographic, business background and business performance in Colombia. To this end, 19 surveys and observation visits were carried out. It is concluded that in Bucaramanga there is an "ethnic economy", understood as a set of businesses created by migrants to face the barriers of access to the labor market and xenophobia, but the criticisms that have been formulated about this concept are ratified, since there is no evidence of a close relationship between owners and migrant clients, but in the criterion of work teams that support the productive process. |

Due to its geographical location with an extended border, Bucaramanga has been one of the main cities receiving this migratory flow. This article characterizes the business initiatives developed by Venezuelan migrants in Bucaramanga between 2010 and 2018, through three dimensions of analysis: sociodemographic, business background and business performance in Colombia. To this end, 19 surveys and observation visits were carried out.

El número de migrantes provenientes de Venezuela en Colombia se ha incrementado sustancialmente. Por su ubicación geográfica de frontera extendida, Bucaramanga ha sido una de las principales ciudades receptoras de este flujo migratorio. En este artículo se caracterizan las iniciativas empresariales desarrolladas por migrantes venezolanos en Bucaramanga entre 2010 y 2018, a través de tres dimensiones de análisis: sociodemográfica, antecedentes empresariales y desempeño empresarial en Colombia. Para ello, se realizaron 19 encuestas y visitas de observación. Se concluye que en Bucaramanga existe una “economía étnica”, entendida como un conjunto de negocios creados por migrantes para enfrentar las barreras de acceso al mercado laboral y la xenofobia. No obstante, se ratifican las críticas que sobre este concepto se han formulado, pues no se evidencia una relación estrecha entre propietarios y clientes migrantes, pero sí en la conformación de equipos de trabajo que soportan el proceso productivo.
