Forum Panama 500: The First City of the Pacific
During the celebration of Panama City’s 500 years, on
Tuesday, April 9th, the Forum Panama 500: The First City of the Pacific
was organized by Grupo Prisa, the journal El Pais, Cadena Ser, and funded by Banesco
Panama and other businesses.
It was a space
for debate and analysis for experts, entrepreneurs, and political figures about
the historical origin, culture, and intelligent future of the city.
Our CEO, Carlos Eduardo Escotet, talked
alongside Mercedes Eleta, President of APEDE; Marco Fernandez, national analyst
of Global Source Partners Panama; and Linda Maguire, representative of the PNUD in
Panama, in a round table called Panama, a country in sustainable
development.
“We have to transform digital development in a
facilitator of the physical world to generate more empathic businesses with
people and their ideas filled with experience.” This was one of most remembered
phrases of our CEO.
The President of Banesco International, Juan
Carlos Escotet, also participated in the reunion. He recognized the
economical achievements of the country in the last two decades, and how these
have helped reduced social inequality.
