Superiores de Administración (IESA), con sede en la Ciudad del Saber, y la
Autoridad de la Micro, Pequeña y Mediana Empresa (AMPYME), llevaron a cabo la
presentación de los resultados del Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) Panamá
2016, estudio que mide el emprendimiento en el país.
El evento inició con palabras de
bienvenida por parte de Irene Perurena, Vicepresidenta Ejecutiva de la
Fundación Ciudad del Saber, quien destacó la importancia de medir para poder
avanzar. “El objetivo del día de hoy es compartir información que será de gran
provecho para la comunidad de emprendedores de Panamá, que podrá utilizar estas
herramientas para encontrar un espacio para mejorar e innovar”, mencionó
Perurena.
Por su parte Manuel Lorenzo,
Vicepresidente de Innovación de Ciudad del Saber, recalcó que “desde el año
2009 la Ciudad del Saber es el ejecutor, junto con IESA, del Global
Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), un estudio que mide el emprendimiento en todas
sus facetas en Panamá, para poder generar mejor capital humano”. Lorenzo
recalcó que Ciudad del Saber ve el emprendimiento como una manera de crecer con
el mundo, haciendo que la cultura innovadora sea un factor de éxito global.
Adicionalmente, Lorenzo puso especial énfasis en que el emprendimiento sirve
para crear una sociedad más justa, donde las personas pueden tomar el control
de las decisiones que cambian el mundo a largo plazo.
Durante el evento se presentaron
los indicadores y sub indicadores que miden el emprendimiento en todas sus
facetas en Panamá, y en comparación con más de 70 países del mundo. GEM provee
las herramientas, en forma de indicadores comparativos, para diseñar programas,
proyectos y políticas públicas para el fomento del emprendimiento. Además,
provee insumos que explican otros indicadores macroeconómicos o de desarrollo
humano del país.
Los resultados del GEM 2016 se
obtuvieron a través de una encuesta a la población adulta (2015 encuestados),
entrevistas a alrededor de 40 expertos y análisis de especialistas. Se pudo
observar que el nivel de emprendimiento temprano de Panamá en el 2016 fue de
13.2. Es decir, 13.2 de cada 100 panameños en edad productiva están
emprendiendo. Por otro lado, el nivel de emprendimiento por oportunidad de
Panamá es de arriba del 50%.
Como parte del evento se llevó a
cabo la conferencia “Emprendimiento Innovador con una mirada regional”, por

FOTOS DEL EVENTO:
James bar-Zebedee, Apostle. 25 July 41
James the son of Zebedee and his brother John were among the twelve disciples of Our Lord. They, together with Peter, were privileged to behold the Transfiguration (M 17:1 = P 9:2 = L 9:28), to witness the healing of Peter's mother-in-law (P 1:29) and the raising of the daughter of Jairus (P 5:37 = L 8:51), and to be called aside to watch and pray with Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane on the night before His death (M 26:37 = P 14:33).
James and John were apparently from a higher social level than the average fisherman. Their father could afford hired servants (P 1:20), and John (assuming him to be identical with the "beloved disciple") had connections with the high priest (J 18:15). Jesus nicknamed the two brothers "sons of thunder" (P 3:17), perhaps meaning that they were headstrong, hot-tempered, and impulsive; and so they seem to be in two incidents reported in the Gospels. On one occasion (L 9:54ff), Jesus and the disciples were refused the hospitality of a Samaritan village, and James and John proposed to call down fire from heaven on the offenders. On another occasion (M 20:20-23 = P 10:35-41), they asked Jesus for a special place of honor in the Kingdom, and were told that the place of honor is the place of suffering.
Finally, about AD 42, shortly before Passover (Acts 12), James was beheaded by order of King Herod Agrippa I, grandson of Herod the Great (who tried to kill the infant Jesus--Matthew 2), nephew of Herod Antipas (who killed John the Baptist--Mark 6--and examined Jesus on Good Friday--Luke 23), and father of Herod Agrippa II (who heard the defence of Paul before Festus--Acts 25). James was the first of the Twelve to suffer martyrdom, and the only one of the Twelve whose death is recorded in the New Testament.
James is often called James Major (= greater or elder) to distinguish him from other New Testament persons called James. (For a discussion of the various Jameses, see Philip and James.) Tradition has it that he made a missionary journey to Spain, and that after his death his body was taken to Spain and buried there. at Compostela (a town the name of which is commonly thought to be derived from the word "apostle", although a Spanish-speaking listmember reports having heard it derived from "field of stars", which in Latin would be campus stellarum). His supposed burial place there was a major site of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages, and the Spaniards fighting to drive their Moorish conquerors out of Spain took "Santiago de Compostela!" as one of their chief war-cries. (The Spanish form of "James" is "Diego" or "Iago". In most languages, "James" and "Jacob" are identical. Where an English Bible has "James," a Greek Bible has IAKWBOS.)

Thomas a Kempis, Priest, Monk, and Writer. 24 July 1471
Thomas is known almost entirely for composing or compiling a manual of spiritual advice known as The Imitation of Christ, in which he urges the reader to seek to follow the example of Jesus Christ and to be conformed in all things to His will. An extract follows:
When God bestows Spiritual comfort, receive it with a grateful heart; but remember that it comes of God's free gift, and not of your own merit. Do not be proud, nor over joyful, nor foolishly presumptuous; rather, be the more humble for this gift, more cautious, and more prudent in all your doings, for this hour will pass, and temptation will follow it. When comfort is withdrawn, do not immediately despair, but humbly and patiently await the will of Heaven; for God is able to restore you to a consolation even richer than before. This is nothing new or strange to those who know the ways of God, for the great Saints and Prophets of old often experienced these changes. ...Indeed, the temptation that precedes is often a sign of comfort to follow. For heavenly comfort is promised to those who have been tried and tempted."To him who overcomes," says God, "I will give to eat of the Tree of Life."
