Entrepreneurship becomes young and opens up to new sectors such as finance, personal services and advertising. These are the areas in which companies led by the under 35s are beginning to be a beautiful and important reality in our country.

We must commit ourselves to creating the conditions to allow these companies to grow and establish themselves on the market".
