In celebration of Global Entrepreneurship Week, we spoke with Natalia Bonderenko, Executive Director of INprende, about the importance of entrepreneurial training for the birth of new business ideas and the benefit of providing these tools to communities.

Repunte global de COVID-19 y las hospitalizaciones récord en los Estados Unidos impactan los mercados
Los mercados de valores estadounidenses cerraron con pérdidas por segunda sesión consecutiva, ya que los inversionistas parecen estar más preocupados por el aumento mundial de casos de coronavirus. Ni siquiera el anuncio de hoy de Pfizer y BioNTech que declaró que su vacuna también demostró tener una efectividad del 95% en la prevención de COVID-19 fue suficiente para abatir los mercados. Las perdidas del mercado aumentaron después de que la ciudad de Nueva York anunció que cerraría su sistema escolar el 19 de noviembre luego de un aumento en la proporción positiva de casos de COVID-19 a 3% nuevamente. Sin embargo, en Europa, el repunte continúa sin pausa, ya que el índice Stoxx 600 subió un 0.4%, aumentando las ganancias registrando el noviembre más robusto en los últimos 40 años.
