It is a CCB initiative designed for students and the educational community of public and private schools in Bogotá and the region, which seeks to promote a culture of entrepreneurship and creative thinking by transferring methodologies to teachers that will help them act as facilitators for their students in solving challenges posed by the Chamber of Commerce of Bogotá.
Challenges 2019: The challenges help to develop an entrepreneurial spirit and encourage entrepreneurial behavior, skills and abilities among young people, such as critical thinking, decision-making capacities, teamwork and innovation, to propose solutions to daily issues.
