History

The analysis and justification for the creation of a Business University in Cochabamba, must be framed to the economic and social situation that Bolivia experienced since 1985. Before that it would have been very difficult to think about the execution of a work of these characteristics, Not only because the law did not allow it, but because the concepts of globalization and world competitiveness would not have directly put pressure on Bolivian businessmen and less on their union institutions.

The UPB is sponsored by the business community organized through the Confederation of Private Entrepreneurs of Bolivia and the Federation of Business Entities of Cochabamba. Likewise, at the end of the last decade the FUNDES-Bolivia Foundation has promoted the development and qualification of its human resources and infrastructure of classrooms and laboratories.
