Lima, Peru - October 17, 2024. The Museo de Arte de Lima (MALI) in Peru, was the setting chosen to commemorate the 60th anniversary of INCAE Business School, in an evening that brought together graduates, entrepreneurs and friends of the institution. The activity highlighted the transformative impact of INCAE in the region, its educational trajectory and its firm commitment to business leadership and democracy.
