The Entrepreneurship Fair at UMECIT La Chorrera: a space for learning, innovation, and community

The Entrepreneurship Fair was successfully held at the UMECIT La Chorrera headquarters recently. This academic event provided more than 10 entrepreneurs—mostly students—the opportunity to showcase their products and services, generate visibility for their projects, and validate their ideas in a real-world market.

Thanks to the valuable collaboration of the Academic Coordinator, Msgr. Ernesto Martínez, the Academic Assistant, Ms. Diosa Sánchez, and Professor Mgr. Alexis Del Cid, a broad and diverse recruitment strategy was achieved, strengthening the sense of community and support among participants.

This event effectively integrated the substantive university functions:

• Teaching: Promoted active and applied learning, developing entrepreneurial skills in students.
  
  
• Research: It allowed us to validate ideas through public feedback and market analysis.
  
  
• Extension: Linked the community with the university, generating social and economic impact.
  
  
• Management: It demonstrated the institution's organizational capacity and its commitment to the local entrepreneurial ecosystem.
  
  

With activities like this, UMECIT reaffirms its commitment to comprehensive, dynamic training geared toward regional development.
