Probayes invited to participate on the EULAKS Summer School.

Probayes participated on the EULAKS Summer School:

“The Role of the Social Sciences in the Construction of the Knowledge-Based Society: European and Latin American Perspectives”.

This important event was organized by the European project EULAKS and FLACSO Mexico. During two weeks, students from Europe and Latin-America meet together at FLACSO Mexico to listen lectures coming from around the world and work on a common subject “The risks and challenges that arise in the evolving knowledge societies in Europe and Latin America”.

Particularly, Probayes participated with the conference “IT- spin-off experiences: European and Mexican cases”. In this talk, we presented the main challenges and process that took Probayes to its current position, how Probayes is reaching the Mexican market, and how it is planning to open a branch on that country. In Europe there is considerable entrepreneurial experience among academics and researchers. If the number of spin-offs created by universities and research centers in Europe does not reach the levels in the United States, activities for spin-off creation are on their way in Europe. In contrast, Mexico is just starting to implement measures and programs that indirectly help the development of start-offs on information technology.
