Entrepreneurship opportunities

“Countries grow because there are more and more companies, because every time more companies are developed, the opportunities in the place where those companies grow increase. The large company is not going to tend to hire many more thousands of people, but rather it is going to put technology in place and in the world to come they will be companies that tend to shrink and, therefore, the generation of employment and the generation of opportunities It will depend on whether we are able to create more and better entrepreneurs, and that those who are already starting out can grow,” said Mustakis.
Along these lines, he added that, “all education has to be focused on people being super proactive, being available to reinvent themselves, to learn how to learn, to learn over time and therefore, perhaps have more than one career.” in their life and perhaps they work for someone and at the same time undertake or work with an entrepreneur, and for this reason, education has to be rethought for this new world and rethought to be a much better society for everyone, a society with more talent, more inclusive, where we all participate and where most importantly, the more entrepreneurs and innovation we have, we will move forward as a country, much stronger.”
