He also analyzed with the alumni attending the event what are the necessary conditions to attain a succesful internalization and diversification process, and the adequate skills and attitudes to become a successful entrepreneur. Lastly , Mr. Creixell addressed some question on the importance of waste recycling for sustainability.
