Bolivia Tech Hub intervention program


Oportunities for the Youth

Description

Founded in 2014, Bolivia Tech Hub is an early stage incubator that serves as one of La Paz’s only support systems for the city’s tech community, helping entrepreneurs to learn, develop and collaborate on new projects
BTH promoted the creation of the local industry of the video games, start from zero (2014) to the current time where we have people that travel (or will be soon) to events in Vancouver (Consumer VR, 2017), San Francisco (GDC, 2015 - 2017), Colombia
(MICSUR, 2016) and Argentina (MICA, 2015), have more than 10 game studios.
Almost 80% of the students that are part of our educational events have the highest probabilities to be hired by software companies
that value their knowledge and love to be challenged.
