G-Talent , the leading online learning academy in Latin America, has joined forces with the Institute of Higher Administration Studies (IESA) and the IDB Lab to launch the EmprendeTECH Program , a training and support program for entrepreneurial teams interested in developing or promoting technology-based businesses with social impact.

In this program, G-Talent will offer 10 technological and digital courses that seek to complement and enhance the skills of entrepreneurial groups, so that the growth of their businesses can be exponential through the appropriate use of technology.

"We are very proud to be part of this pioneering project in Venezuela," said Clover Brito, CEO and founder of G-Talent, "We believe that the EmprendeTECH Program has the potential to be a catalyst for the development of technological entrepreneurship in the country, and we are committed to providing our support to Venezuelan entrepreneurs to help them succeed."

G-Talent, IESA - EmprendeTech

The EmprendeTECH Program will be implemented for thirty months in two editions per year, will have national reach through the IESA headquarters, or its allies, and will be supported by international networks.

This first edition begins on April 29 and ends on July 29, 2023, three months of learning, networking and mentoring from people prepared both academically and with the experience of already successful businesses, not only in Venezuela but in other countries.

In addition to the courses offered, G-Talent will also participate in the EmprendeTECH Program as a mentor. Clover Brito, CEO and founder of the academy, will provide his support and experience to the participating entrepreneurs.

"I am confident that my experience as an entrepreneur and as an educator will allow me to help the participants of the EmprendeTECH Program develop their businesses and achieve success," said Brito.

The EmprendeTECH Program is an important initiative for the development of technological entrepreneurship in Venezuela. G-Talent is committed to supporting this project and contributing to the success of Venezuelan entrepreneurs.

A study conducted by IESA and UCAB reveals that at least three million Venezuelans are entrepreneurs.

According to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM Venezuela 2022), 90% of entrepreneurs do so out of necessity and the vast majority of their businesses have little impact on the economy. The study points out the urgency of creating a “road map” that includes entrepreneurs and the State to grow this sector.

Despite being a country severely affected by the economic and social crisis, as well as the lack of public policies, Venezuelans are looking for ways to get ahead, launching themselves into entrepreneurship in search of better opportunities and earning a decent living wage.

The research was sponsored by EY , the Development Bank of Latin America (CAF) and Mercantil Banco , and was based on a national survey of 2,218 adults and a poll of 36 economic experts.

The analysis, presented on Wednesday, March 15, indicates that nearly 3 million Venezuelans (19% of the country's adult population) are starting up businesses at different stages. Of that group, the vast majority (86%) have early-stage ventures (TEA), that is, they have nascent businesses (startups less than three months on the market) or new businesses (less than 3.5 years on the market), and only 14% have established or partially consolidated businesses (EBO), that is, they have survived more than five years on the market. Speaking of the entire adult population of the country, approximately 11% have nascent ventures, 5% have new ones, and only 2.6% have established businesses.

All of the above leads us to conclude that the EmprendeTECH Program promises to be a success not only as a pioneering project in training and supporting entrepreneurs in the country, but also in supporting the economy and technological evolution in Venezuela.
