Un escenario para las ideas que transforman territorios
During this edition, students from the Business Technology, Business Management, Agroindustrial Programs, and Pharmacy Management Technology programs actively participated in the workshops held in Málaga, Barbosa, and Socorro, as well as at the San Alberto Business Support Center (CAE).
The projects presented address needs and opportunities identified in their regions and cover areas such as business strengthening, social innovation, regional development, agroindustry, and the creation of productive opportunities. These initiatives reflect the practical application of knowledge acquired during the academic training process and the students’ commitment to transforming their communities.
The closing event in Bucaramanga will allow attendees to learn about applied research proposals, market studies, business plans, innovative business models, agro-industrial initiatives, and various entrepreneurship projects developed by IPRED students.
In addition, the event will feature students from the Judicial Management and Research Technology and Visual Arts programs, broadening the diversity of experiences, perspectives, and projects that will be shared with visitors.
