Twenty two representatives from public and private institutions in Guayaquil visited and took a tour of the university during the event titled "2018 Business Tour". The aim was that companies learn more closely about the university and look for future institutional agreements that would benefit students.

The event was presided by Andres Bayolo, vice president of our branch campus in Guayaquil, and Wendy Luna, director of the community involvement department. "It is gratifying to hear positive comments from representatives who visited our university", said Luna.

Professors and officials walked alongside the representatives as they explained the use of the laboratories and answered their questions. The institutions that attended were: Almacenes PYCCA, Andec, CONECEL, Diario El Universo, Telefónica, Concel, Plastigama, Centro Acero, Cervecería, Consorcio Nobis, Kia Motors, Superéxito and others.

"These activities are necessary so we can have strategic alliances between the university and the business sector. We have worked with students from this university and know their academic quality", said Gustavo Caicedo, representative of Plastigama
