Under the slogan “Building dreams, forging futures”, the First Departmental Conference Workshop on Entrepreneurship and Young Leadership, called ‘Emprende Joven’, was held on November 15, 2023, during the Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW2023). The Departmental Board of Cordillera organized this activity with the support of the National System of Training and Labor Training (SINAFOCAL).
The Municipal Theater of Caacupé was the stage where Lic. Erico Recalde and Juan Rolón, professionals from the Coordination of Entrepreneurship and Transversal Competences of SINAFOCAL, lectured on the topic “Discover your potential as a leader and entrepreneur” before an audience of around 300 participants from various localities of the Cordillera department.
The meeting included motivational presentations by prominent speakers, as well as networking opportunities and the possibility of establishing connections with potential mentors. In addition, the creation of the Cordillera Entrepreneurs Network was formalized, seeking to generate a continuous space of support and exchange for local entrepreneurs.
The fundamental purpose of this initiative was to inspire the young entrepreneurs of the region, providing them with tools and resources to achieve success, while promoting innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit in the area.
