During the first entrepreneurship day organized by the María Cano University Foundation, a transformative gathering took place where students, faculty, and alumni came together to share ideas, experiences, and, above all, inspiration. The event focused on how entrepreneurship can be a driving force for change in fields such as physiotherapy and physical therapies, which have traditionally been centered solely on clinical practice.

One of the most prominent voices was that of Nikol Papamija, an alumna of the institution and founder of Cross-Teraphy, a brand that has revolutionized the way physical therapies are understood and applied in the country. Thanks to a comprehensive approach that combines science, technology, and personalized care, her venture has positioned itself as a benchmark for quality and innovative vision in the field of physical rehabilitation.

“Cross-Teraphy was born from the desire to offer treatments that truly make a difference in people’s recovery. The education I received at María Cano gave me the solid foundation to undertake this journey with purpose and confidence,” Papamija said during her presentation.

The María Cano University Foundation is establishing itself as a fertile ground for both professional and personal growth, where knowledge is not only transmitted but transformed into real opportunities. Through a high-quality education with a strong practical component and a focus on innovation, the institution encourages its students to explore beyond the traditional practice of physiotherapy.

“Physiotherapy is not just clinical intervention—it is also research, management, education, and, of course, entrepreneurship. Here, we provide our students with the tools to create their own path,” stated one of the faculty coordinators of the event.

More than just an academic event, this gathering was a tangible demonstration of how projects are born from dreams, and how education can be the starting point for changing realities. In a world where healthcare is constantly evolving, initiatives like Cross-Teraphy show that physiotherapy still has much to contribute.

María Cano thus positions itself as an institution that not only trains professionals, but also develops leaders and agents of change in the field of health sciences. Through initiatives like this entrepreneurship day, it reaffirms its commitment to the holistic development of its students, connecting passion, knowledge, and a vision for the future.
