Alliance
EAFIT was founded in 1960, when a group of business leaders in Antioquia joined forces to establish a higher-education institution that would serve as a training ground for business managers. Since then, the bond between the institution and the productive sector has been unbreakable and has been strengthened through knowledge exchanges.
The government has also joined this alliance, which strives to fuel progress in the country and its regions. Major joint projects in the areas of research and innovation, advisory, and consulting have been carried out thanks to this triple partnership.
Center for Innovation, Consulting, and Entrepreneurship (Cice)
Since its founding in 2006, the Cice has offered solutions to companies, governments, educational establishments, entrepreneurs, social organizations, and other institutions, providing products and services that leverage the knowledge and experience of the university’s different academic and research areas. The center is tasked with coordinating technology and knowledge transfers.
