The “EmprendeCon.” initiative was born with a series of Conferences, Conversations, Workshops, Mentorships and Dynamics designed to strengthen the business and socio-emotional profile of entrepreneurs. Having the opportunity to listen to experts on the topic of entrepreneurship in Mexico allows entrepreneurs to have the bases for business consolidation and integration into the formal economic sector, knowledge of digital platforms that will help them boost their business and give them a presence beyond conventional social networks, to listen to the story of consolidated entrepreneurial projects and to take their advice to facilitate their path.

On August 19 and 20, as part of International Youth Day, the “EmprendeFest” took place in the Alameda del Sur in the Coyoacán Municipality. An event dedicated to young entrepreneurs, where more than 100 brands and independent projects met.

This event took more than two months of planning, convening and execution, all with the help of the Coyoacán Mayor's Office and the participation of the work teams of Casa Bazar, Faro Bazar and Libre Liebre, who were the communication bridge with the entrepreneurs and without them it would not have been possible to achieve this.

The organization of this event opened the doors to continue working for the benefit of entrepreneurs, allowed us to think about opening the public space to these economic dynamics on a permanent basis and to think about carrying out activities that strengthen their business activities.

This is how the “EmprendeCon” initiative was born. A series of conferences, discussions, workshops, mentoring sessions and dynamics designed to strengthen the business and socio-emotional profile of entrepreneurs.

Having the opportunity to listen to experts on the topic of entrepreneurship in Mexico, learn about what is being done through public policies to boost the entrepreneurial ecosystem, provide tools that can be applied directly and immediately to their projects and have knowledge in legal, financial and investment matters.

They should have the foundations for business consolidation and integration into the formal economic sector, knowledge of digital platforms that will help them boost their business and give them a presence beyond conventional social networks, they should be able to listen to the stories of consolidated entrepreneurial projects and take their advice to make their path easier.

And at the same time help improve their emotional health, their management of stress, frustration, emotional containment and conflict resolution, emotional aspects that are not talked about, but turn out to have a very high impact on the development of an entrepreneurial project.

This first semester of work with “EmprendeCon” will be carried out virtually and in person, within the facilities of the Jesús Reyes Heroles cultural center for activities that require physical attendance and on platforms such as Meet and Zoom for remote work.

Although there are still many things to do, to confirm and coordinate, we can advance a few dates and activities that will take place in the coming months, hoping to share the entire calendar as soon as possible.
