Abstract

Women-led cultural enterprises in Colombia have emerged as a strategic opportunity to strengthen the cultural economy, support heritage tourism, and foster inclusive territorial development. This study examines the significant predictors of entrepreneurial maturity among women in the artisan sector. The analysis draws on data from 512 women registered in the 2023 database of the Departmental Institute of Culture and Tourism of Cundinamarca. A quantitative approach was employed, using a non-experimental, cross-sectional design and a binary logistic regression model. The findings reveal significant relationships between maturity and variables such as age, primary source of income, and participation in associations. Distance from the capital showed only a marginal effect. These results offer valuable insights for designing targeted strategies to enhance cultural and territorial development through the empowerment of women artisans.
