ESEN is a young business school, and thanks to our academic excellence, we have managed to position ourselves as a benchmark in the Central American region. We are currently working to create a University Innovation Center that will boost the innovation ecosystem in the region. As Dean of Business and Economics, I am leading this initiative. Participating in this conference is the perfect opportunity to learn firsthand about top-level innovation centers and similar initiatives, as well as to establish connections with potential strategic partners.
