Abstract: This study aims to show the role that the state acquires in some economies of the world as a generator of conditions for the emergence of business initiatives. The study is exploratory-descriptive in nature. A bibliographic analysis was carried out in order to identify the theoretical sustenance and to collect relevant information on mining and fish farming economic activities in a Colombian Region. It was evident that the Colombian State was a relevant genesis of the economic activities studied as it became an instrument for entrepreneurs to create adequate economic, legal and social conditions.
