Panama, November 11, 2025. - What began as a pilot plan, they have been seen as a national project with high potential that will directly benefit the population and 50 Panamanian people have graduated from the pilot plan of the National Training Programme "From Idea to Action."

The program was developed by the Ministry of Culture (MiCultura), through the National Board of Creative Economics with the support of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (AMSMEs) and the Technology University of Panama (UTP), and they have been awarded a certificate duly accredited by the UTP to the 50 graduates.

The first group was made up of young people, adults and people aged 70 and older. A mother, head of family, attended the whole course with her baby in his arms and met all the criteria to get his idea into action.

"From the Idea la Acción" aims to educate Panamanian with the tools necessary to get their entrepreneurship projects to a reality. Following the success of the pilot plan, MiCultura is organized to move them throughout the country with local governments and other entrepreneurs.

It also plans to propose this project to civil servants, university students and young graduates of public and private schools to provide them with the necessary tools to undertake them with success.

During training, we learn about Creative Economics, how creative and cultural industries (ICC) work, and also the formalization of ICC projects, and the validation of ICC entrepreneurship and business models in the creative economy, and communication, digital marketing and artificial intelligence.

The facilitators of this workshop included Gerardo Neugovsen, an expert in Creative Economics and Cecilia Castrellón, Director of Management and Transfer of Knowledge at the UTP.
