The company is the main sponsor of Novus-Colombia, a program created by the National University in which interdisciplinary teams seek to innovative solutions to challenges faced by ISA in its operation and environment.
The aim of ISA with this new initiative is to strengthen the concept of open innovation by involving students with high research level in the planning and development of ideas, allowing the company to capture economic, social and / or property tax benefits. In addition, the program seeks to encourage innovation capacity, collaborative work and project management among the students.

The winning ideas will be granted an economic incentive and will be implemented with the support of the company employees.

With these programs, ISA, listed by Colciencias as highly innovative, confirms the importance of strengthening external networks to turn ideas into knowledge that leverages the achievement of its goals.
