Careers
Entrepreneurs and small businesses (firms or farms) are the backbones of the local economy. Understanding the impact they have on its competitiveness is key to drafting policies that are effective and inclusive.

You will be introduced to specific strategies and tools for creating and managing these processes from a multi-stakeholder perspective.
