Herramientas para impulsar desde la eficacia el emprendimiento universitario en Colombia

Abstract

Under the slogan of No one behind that proposes the 2030 Agenda, and with the idea of focusing cooperation towards ownership, it is essential to support local entrepreneurship and the knowledge generated by educational institutions in developing or average income countries, as is the case of Colombia.

With this main objective, this paper presents two tools that, in a very simple way, allow to promote the appropriation of knowledge and facilitate the evolution and improvement of the entrepreneurship proposals in two different lines. The first one focused on asssing the viability of entrepreneurship projects, and the second one, on risk management.

These two tools, designed from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, have been implemented in the Corporación Universitaria Unicomfacauca (Colombia), where they have been validated with business plans proposed by the students of this institution, and are currently being used by both, students and professors, thus enriching the database and making there more complete.

The transfer of these tools and the collaboration between both Higher Education Institutions demonstrates the importance of Goal 17 of the 2030 Agenda to establish alliances to address global development problems
