Last Tuesday, the Lecture Hall of Module C at the Faculty of Economics, Business and Tourism (FEET) hosted a conference by Ancor Suárez Alemán, PhD in Economics with a specialization in Port Competitiveness and European Maritime Transport Policy, and author of more than 100 publications on
infrastructure investment, financing, and governance, as well as Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs).
He currently serves as a Senior Specialist in PPPs at the Vice Presidency for Countries of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), based in Washington, D.C., where he leads support to 26 governments across Latin America and the Caribbean in strengthening institutional and regulatory
frameworks, planning and structuring projects, and promoting best practices in PPPs.
During his talk, Suárez Alemán shared his professional trajectory, highlighting the key role his education at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC) played in it, where he earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Economics. He emphasized that the solid theoretical and quantitative foundation gained at the Faculty equipped him with the tools needed to advance his career and discover his true vocation.
He also encouraged students to trust in the quality of their education and to continue their academic development “with confidence,” convinced that graduates of the program are well-prepared in economic theory and quantitative methods to face the challenges of the international job market.
The Faculty would like to thank Ancor for returning to share his experience and insights in a talk that will undoubtedly serve as an inspiration for current students and future graduates.
