“Entrepreneurship with Purpose: Social and Technological Innovation in the Age of AI”

Post-pandemic higher education in the region will surely bring changes that will include greater adoption of online teaching technologies and methodologies, as well as an emphasis on digital skills and competencies for the digital economy. We hope that there will be changes in the way higher education is financed and regulated and that greater collaboration between universities and companies will be encouraged to ensure that graduates are better prepared for the labor market, an objective that we welcome at LACCEI.
