Emmanuel Peña Alvarez

Business mentor, Change Agent, Educator/Teacher, Entrepreneur

Educator, trainer, and consultant specialized in Strategy and Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Development. With over a decade of experience, I combine the strategic management of entrepreneurial ecosystems, curriculum design aimed at fostering entrepreneurship, and international collaboration for open innovation. I currently serve as Director of the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem of Córdoba (EECBA), an inter-institutional network of over 45 public and private organizations that promote an entrepreneurial culture in the province of Córdoba, Argentina. I am also the Director of Innovation and Knowledge Transfer at Universidad Siglo 21, where I previously led the Center for Entrepreneurship. During my tenure, the university was recognized by the OECD and the IDB as a leading entrepreneurial and innovative institution in Latin America, as highlighted in the OECD Skills Studios 2022 report. I led the design and implementation of Argentina’s first Certification in Entrepreneurial Competencies and Latin America's second Bachelor's Degree in Entrepreneurship.
