Highlighting the importance of entrepreneurship, directors of the Pino Global Entrepreneurship Center at FIU Business have established an executive board comprised of business and corporate executives.
Board members will collaborate to develop innovative projects that prepare students to be successful business leaders driven by experience and hands-on learning.
In 2023 Pino Center will offer three courses and a master class that focus on the principles of entrepreneurial management, marketing and leadership. These are based on “A Bridge Not Too Far, Where Creativity Meets Innovation” by Deepak Ohri, the new board’s executive chairman.
The center focuses on working with entrepreneurs to develop the skills and network they need to reach their goals as well to provide qualified graduates for global, regional and local corporations. Efforts include strengthening new community businesses to build entrepreneurs across South Florida and globally.
