The Grupo Empresarial Antioqueño (GEA, Business Group of Antioquia) also known as Sindicato Antioqueño, is a Colombian conglomerate composed by around 125 companies[1], most of them based in Antioquia Department.

Though, legally speaking, such an entity does not exist, it is commonly regarded as the first Colombian keiretsu[2][3]. It is "controlled" by three companies: Cementos Argos (cements), Suramericana de Inversiones (financial), and Grupo Nacional de Chocolates (food). The group, through these companies, has 10,000 shareholders[1]. GEA's 2007 income amounts to 5.5% of Colombia's gross domestic product[4].
