Abstract

Currently, because of the global health emergency, various difficulties have arisen in education. Specifically, in the field of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, the virtualization of training and networking programs, considered as the basis of any Entrepreneurship, has been evidenced as the main problem. This article explains a virtualization proposal through the use of digital tools such as social networks, videoconferences, and virtual rooms (Habbo), achieving a great reception by students of the various professional careers of the University. Likewise, it is explained how the interaction, synergy, and development of soft skills, aroused among the participants of the different specialties, allowed outstanding achievements at the national level.
