After exposing that change and transformation does not scare entrepreneurs, he said that current times demand new ways of understanding issues such as the environment, economics, gender parity and education.
“They are times of profound and accelerated change that also demand a new business concept, a more sensitive and deeper commitment approach,” he said.

The president of the Canacintra also stated that a full rule of law was required to provide security to employment, but also to the investment generated by those jobs.
“The challenge we face is great, it’s huge, it’s an economic, social, environmental sustainability challenge and, of course, it’s a challenge for children. We are the first generation in many years who run the risk of inheriting to their children worse conditions than we receive from our parents. ”
