INCAE dressed up, and from July 9 to 11 commemorated its 60th anniversary in Ecuador, reaffirming its position as the Leading Business School in Latin America, with activities in the cities of Guayaquil, Quito and Cuenca.
The evenings were held at Banco Guayaquil in Guayaquil and Quito, and at the Hotel Oro Verde in Cuenca, with the participation of more than 240 guests, including businessmen, government representatives and graduates.
During the events, the guests were welcomed by Angelo Caputi, president of the Ecuador National Committee, followed by Rector Enrique Bolaños, and closed with a talk on "Ecuador at the crossroads: challenges for the next five years" by Roberto Artavia, president of the Board of Directors of INCAE (in Guayaquil and Quito).
"We are very proud to commemorate 60 years of academic excellence and commitment to developing leaders in Latin America. Ecuador has been a key partner in our mission, and to see so many Ecuadorian graduates applying their knowledge and skills in various sectors is a testament to the positive impact we seek to achieve. This commemoration is an opportunity to reflect on our achievements and renew our commitment to quality education and innovation in the region," commented Enrique Bolaños, Rector of INCAE.
Currently, there are 10,400 graduates of our MBAs (full-time and executive), of whom 1,000 are Ecuadorian (9.6%), Ecuador ranks #4 in our ranking of nationalities. In addition, the INCAE network is made up of 19,930 graduates of our master's degrees and the Senior Management Program, and of these, almost 2,000 are Ecuadorians (9.4%), professionals who contribute their knowledge in different sectors of the country and the region.
INCAE recognized Banco Guayaquil for its commitment to the mission of INCAE on its 60th anniversary, and Angelo Caputi for his invaluable support and vital contribution to the vision of INCAE in Ecuador. He also presented awards to Grupo Graiman and Grupo Eljuri for their invaluable legacy and role in the history of INCAE. We also took advantage of the presence of our leaders in the country to expand our contacts in Ecuador.
These events marked the second activity to commemorate the 60th anniversary of INCAE in the region, the first being in Panama. The celebrations will continue throughout the year in several countries, including El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and closing in Costa Rica, where different activities will be held to recognize the work of graduates throughout history and the contribution of those who have contributed to the development of the school and its impact in Latin America.
