During the event, tribute was paid to the Salvadoran businessman, Francisco de Sola, promoter of the foundation of INCAE.
The Central American Institute of Business Administration (INCAE) celebrated Thursday night the 60th anniversary of its foundation, with an event in a capital hotel attended by members of the Board of Directors, teachers and graduates from different generations, as well as recognized entrepreneurs.
During the event, Don Francisco de Sola, who has been a member of the institution’s board for four decades, was granted recognition.
“I am receiving this very honorable dam, which I am heartily thankful, through me I am honored to many more people who have done a lot for INCAE, including my father. INCAE has done much more for me than I have for him,” he said of Sola visibly excited.
The rector of INCAE, the Nicaraguan academic, Enrique Bolaños Abaunza, recalled the history of INCAE since its foundation in 1964.
“It was a project without resources, without availability, without anything, but they say we have to do it. Francisco De Sola (father) pulls to do it and in 64 we started with the idea, in 67 begins the first master’s degree, in 69 the first mastery graduated and the campus is inaugurated,” Bolaños recalled.
INCAE currently has a campus in Costa Rica and has recently opened an executive center in Panama following the confiscation of the Francisco de Sola Campus by Daniel Ortega’s dictatorship in Nicaragua.
The event ended with the presentation of INCAE professor Alberto Trejos.
