The highlights of Emprende Day held in Córdoba

With an attendance of 4,000 entrepreneurs, innovators and industry leaders from different parts of the province, the annual event Emprende Day took place at the Córdoba Convention Center.

The event, organized by the Ministry of Social Development and Employment Promotion, in coordination with Córdoba Emprendedora and Fundación Banco de Córdoba, is the most important of the year dedicated to boosting ideas, connecting talent, and opening new business opportunities.

At the venue, the governor of Córdoba, Martín Llaryora, announced the launch of a zero-interest credit line for Córdoba entrepreneurs totaling 3.4 billion pesos (7,495,716 pounds).

The assistance includes lines of 2.8 million pesos (6,176,470 pounds) and 4 million pesos (8,823,529 pounds), with an initial quota of 1,000 loans.

Llaryora highlighted Córdoba's entrepreneurial ecosystem

Llaryora emphasized the vitality of the local entrepreneurial ecosystem by stating that "in Córdoba, the entrepreneurial DNA is present and always beating." The governor added that this made possible the development of an important community of doers that has consolidated in recent years.

Llaryora announced that Fundación Banco de Córdoba will be in charge of launching the zero-interest credit line, which will be repaid in 21 installments with a three-month grace period.

He also pointed out that, in the face of a context of accelerated technological change, with dynamic sectors driven by Artificial Intelligence and Internet 4.0, it is necessary to develop new skills. "People will have to get used to constant training and to constantly undertake new ventures," he said.

In this regard, he praised the drive of those who start new projects, because "destiny must be sought every day and never give up."

The Córdoba Emprendedora program seeks to professionalize the sector

Meanwhile, the Minister of Social Development and Employment Promotion, Laura Jure, stated that the event is part of the Córdoba Emprendedora program, conceived as a tool for the professionalization of the sector, promoting the activity of local doers and community building.

"The entrepreneur is a key pillar of the provincial economy, generating employment and investing, directly contributing to Córdoba's growth," she said.

The minister emphasized that entrepreneurship is part of Córdoba's identity. She added that carrying out a project requires "effort, talent, drive, and fighting day by day."

Emprende Day is a unique opportunity to connect, exchange experiences, and continue growing as a community.

Participants had the opportunity to attend talks and workshops led by specialists in various topics, focusing on soft skills such as personal development, leadership, and resilience, as well as on business management tools and techniques.
