The program was developed by ESE Business School, together with the Nocedal Foundation, in 2016.
This is a program to promote micro-entrepreneurship, aimed at entrepreneurs who already have an initiative in operation and want to make it grow. At the beginning, the program was aimed at entrepreneurs in the municipalities of La Pintana, Puente Alto, Curacaví and Maipo.
This Diploma in Business Management for Microentrepreneurs aims to provide the necessary tools for participants (microentrepreneurs) to improve their knowledge and management skills in the different areas and functions of the company. For this purpose, classes and tutorials are given on different topics, such as accounting, finance, marketing and sales management, among others.
Since 2022, this program also has the support of the Alumni Council, who, together with its social area, wanted to join this initiative by providing personalized tutoring to the participants. The school's graduates were invited to join the tutoring program, helping the program participants to apply the knowledge acquired in the classes to their projects.

A high concentration of pollutants in indoor air, such as in homes and schools, can affect productivity and represent a significant social cost. Pollutants such as particulate matter, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) enter from outside and are also generated inside indoor spaces, for example, due to heating and engines. These substances can irritate the respiratory tract and some are recognized carcinogens. Episodes of severe air pollution, such as forest fires in summer or the use of heating in winter, have increased the demand for air purifiers in Chile and around the world. Keeping the air clean in our enclosed spaces is crucial for our health and well-being.
Since 2015, the Green Technology Research Group (G-Tech) of the Universidad de los Andes, has researched indoor air purification. He has focused on developing and testing systems that combine physicochemical and biological methods to treat indoor air. In particular, he has worked on eliminating mixtures of VOCs and PAHs from the combustion of wood, fossil fuels and other sources in homes, businesses and public places.
In 2018, he was awarded the Ramón Salas Edwards Prize from the Institute of Engineers of Chile, for his contribution to research and Innovation in Engineering.
