MIPYME Innova linked academia with the productive sector.
The Azuay Chamber of Small Industry, CAPIA; and CEDIA created and implemented the MIPYME Innova program, which aims to strengthen affiliated companies through teams of university students who, as consultants, intervene in said companies.
Last May, the awards ceremony was held digitally to recognize the group of students who won first place for their proposal submitted to PROJASA's innovation challenge. Jorge Espinoza, Miguel Sarmiento, Christian Lasso, and William Campoverde, the winning students, will implement their proposal at the company over the next few weeks under the supervision of a company representative, fostering collaboration between academia and industry.
The awards ceremony was attended by Eng. Pedro Palacios Ullauri, Mayor of the city of Cuenca, as well as representatives of CAPIA: Eng. Fernando Romero, President of the Board of Directors of the Chamber and Eng. Ma. Soledad Escandón, Director of Community Engagement at the University of Cuenca.
