With the presence of more than 100 entrepreneurs from the Valparaíso Region, the Luksic Foundation held a successful first meeting with participants of the Entrepreneurship area programs, where they were able to meet, share experiences and reflect on challenging issues such as formalization, digitization and gender equality in entrepreneurship.
The day was marked by various activities, including a technical talk by Flow, an online payment platform that has more than 30 electronic payment methods and more than 95,000 customers, where attendees were able to acquire valuable tools to enhance their ventures.
The director of the Entrepreneurship area, Cristian Schalper, highlighted the importance of these learning spaces as they allow them to learn about new valuable opportunities. “This is an invitation to take advantage of the community, to count on us and the entrepreneurs who are part of this initiative and all those who have passed through the Foundation. There is tremendous value in the experience that each of those who are here can give you,” he said.
The event was attended by winners of all versions of Impulso Chileno, as well as beneficiaries of Impulso Inicial, a Luksic Foundation program whose objective is to promote the growth of their enterprises through concrete and comprehensive support.
Karina Baez and Isabel Flores are winners of Impulso Inicial. Both of them work in the garment industry and thanks to the program they received machines that enabled them to improve the quality of their work. During the meeting, they shared with other entrepreneurs and learned about other business experiences. “I think it’s great that these activities take place because it allows us to learn from other enterprises, with other industries and experiences,” said Karina.
In the future, the Luksic Foundation will hold new meetings with entrepreneurs from other areas of the country, encouraging collaboration, innovation and creating a space for support and collaboration that will allow them to continue strengthening the ties of the entrepreneurial community in their respective regions.
