Asunción, Agencia IP.- On Thursday, July 17, the prestigious UCL School of Management will host Paraguay Speaks 2025, a public event bringing together leading Paraguayan and international voices to discuss the country’s future in key areas, including education, infrastructure, energy, and the economy. The forum will take place from 09:00 to 16:45 (local time) on Level 50 of One Canada Square, in Canary Wharf, London.
Organized by Paraguayan postgraduate students based in the United Kingdom, the forum is supported by both the Paraguayan and British Embassies. The aim is to build a community of scholars, policymakers, and thought leaders who contribute ideas for the country’s development while strengthening ties between Paraguay and the UK.
Throughout the day, four thematic panels will feature the participation of outstanding Paraguayan professionals from the academic, business, and public sectors:
The education panel will be moderated by Celina Sanabria (UCL). It will include Guillermo Zaracho (University of Bath), Álvaro Ozuna (STEM Paraguay – Reeduca Foundation), and Maureen Montanía (Birkbeck University – CONACYT).
The infrastructure panel, moderated by Constanza Salgueiro (UCL), will feature Ignacio Imas (IDB), Fernando Paniagua (Pavitec S.A.), and Aleksandr Spiridonoff (UCL).
The energy and environment panel will be moderated by Cindy Rojas (SOAS) and include Nikita Levine (Atome Energy), Mauricio Bejarano (Vice Minister of Mines and Energy of Paraguay), Mauricio Solalinde (Chamber of Sustainable Industries), and a representative of Quadriz Paraguay.
The economy and entrepreneurship panel, moderated by Tamara Baruja (UCL), will feature Stella Guillén (Development Finance Agency), Paolo Stagni (Imperial College – Hult Prize Winner), Raúl Benítez (National Deputy), and Anderson Gava (founder of Paraguay’s first search fund).
The event will conclude with a cultural performance and a tasting of traditional Paraguayan food, celebrating the country’s identity and the talent of its diaspora.
Paraguay Speaks 2025 offers a unique opportunity to expand professional networks, highlight the leadership of Paraguayans abroad, and actively contribute to the ideas driving the nation’s development.
