Alexandra Márquez-Massino Rojas, general manager of Coope Ande, said: "This initiative provided important support to a group of women entrepreneurs from all over the country, so that they could receive important training for the acceleration and growth of their businesses. This opens up endless opportunities for each of them, not only for the materialization of their dreams, but also for the impact they will have on their families and communities. Coope Ande contributed here a grain of sand to fulfill our mission, which is to improve the quality of life of all our associates and their families".
