Babson Chilean Symposium for Entrepreneurship Educators (SEE)

About the Program

Originally sponsored by Banco de Chile since 2011, Babson College offers an annual Symposium for Entrepreneurship Educators to a select group of educators from universities across Chile, now in collaboration with the Luksic Scholars Foundation. The program is an immersive symposium where you will discover why how you teach is just as important as what you teach.

The goal of this program is to foster entrepreneurial growth and economic development in Chile through entrepreneurship education.
