The Chamber of Commerce is “a club of companies for companies that is financed with private funds to help people to land and make that path so beautiful to undertake”. Both have highlighted that an American is “an entrepreneur by nature” and that “things that are rare for us in Spain, here they are supernatural and they are fostered.” For example, networking, “spaces where the parties they know and interact, from which partners can emerge. At a sporting event or show businesses arise because ties are created”, he explained.
The president of Saint Kolbe University, Mónica Coronel, was also present at this opening. The University, which offers master’s degrees 100% online, has become a reference in the sector because it resisted the impact of the pandemic like no other.

The international vocation of IEAvanzado also led it to include in this presentation Rodrigo Galindo, in Colombia, and Óscar Nchaso from Malabo, Equatorial Guinea.
Galindo is the manager of the Fundación Colombia 20/50 and the promoter of the WakeUp platform that connects Colombian entrepreneurs. In Colombia, entrepreneurship is an activity that is done out of “necessity”, as has been recognized Galindo himself. “An entrepreneur needs training, but he needs specific ones”, he added.
Oscar Nchaso, Founder of Dreams Hub, has sold the market possibilities offered by the African continent. “A highly potential and in some parts, new markets in which it is necessary to invest”. The current phase in which they find themselves is that of “adopt and adapt”, he explains.
