Resumen
Las microempresas son uno de los componentes más fundamentales de la economía en Barranquilla, ya que no solo crean puestos de trabajo, sino que también impulsan la actividad económica y aseguran el sustento de numerosas familias. No obstante, a pesar de su papel central, estas pequeñas entidades enfrentan serios obstáculos que limitan su expansión y viabilidad. Las principales dificultades incluyen la informalidad, la escasez de acceso a financiamiento, la falta de innovación tecnológica y la carencia de programas de capacitación adecuados tanto para los dueños como para los empleados. Estas restricciones disminuyen significativamente la competitividad del sector y amenazan su continuidad en el futuro. Por lo tanto, es crucial entender mejor el impacto real de las microempresas en la ciudad y, sobre esa base, crear estrategias que potencien su formalización y las integren más efectivamente con la economía formal. La investigación presentada tiene como objetivo, en este contexto, analizar la aportación económica de estas entidades, reconocer sus principales retos y sugerir acciones concretas que potencien su crecimiento.

The main difficulties include informality, limited access to financing, a lack of technological innovation, and a lack of adequate training programs for both owners and employees. These restrictions significantly diminish the sector's competitiveness and threaten its future continuity. Therefore, it is crucial to better understand the real impact of microenterprises in the city and, based on that, develop strategies to promote their formalization and integrate them more effectively into the formal economy. In this context, the research presented aims to analyze the economic contribution of these entities, identify their main challenges, and suggest concrete actions to boost their growth.
