¡Así fue el evento de presentación de Comunidad Desafía! En esta jornada, tuvimos el privilegio de presentar oficialmente un espacio donde más de 250 startups han encontrado su lugar para innovar, aprender y conectar. Con presencia internacional en San Francisco, Singapur, Londres, Nueva York, Tel Aviv y otras ciudades clave, seguimos construyendo una comunidad que apoya el crecimiento y el escalado global de las startups. Como destacó Elisa Carbonell, Consejera Delegada de ICEX: "El evento ha sido una oportunidad única para reconectar a las startups que han formado parte del Programa Desafía con sus compañeros de viaje y otras startups. Hoy nos encontramos en un punto clave de co-creación, donde la comunidad Desafía será lo que las startups decidan que sea." Este evento ha marcado un paso importante en la co-creación de una comunidad única, que no solo conecta empresas, sino que las impulsa a expandir su visión, optimizar sus soluciones tecnológicas y superar los retos globales del mercado. Porque, como bien apunta Elisa, en Desafía no buscamos resultados individuales: ¡queremos un equipo global que trabaje y crezca unido! 👉 ¿Qué papel juega la colaboración en tu proceso de crecimiento? ¡Te leemos! #YoSoyComunidadDesafía #ComunidadDesafía #EcosistemaStartup #InnovaciónColaborativa #Cocreación #EscaladoGlobal #TalentoEmprendedor #CrecimientoEmpresarial
