Juan David Escobar Garcia

“The URV Master’s in Entrepreneurship and Innovation gave me the tools for generating innovation programmes and policies that will become the drivers of economic and social development, thus promoting technological change, innovations, employment and the generation of capital. In my home country I have taken on important roles in both the private and the public sector in the field of innovation. In 2018, I received the Leader in innovation award from Colmena Seguros and the ORP Foundation for a project aimed at reducing occupational illness and increasing productivity through process automation. I am currently collaborating with Factories of Productivity (Fábricas de Productividad), a government programme run by Colombia Productiva and the Colombian Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism in conjunction with regional bodies such as Chambers of Commerce.”
