Yet to be defined.   Entrepreneurship is the set of skills, concepts
                     and attitudes, oriented to the constant search
                     for opportunities to create and innovate,
                     considering at all times an ethical act, accepting
                     challenges and facing uncertainty. It implies
                     devising new and different solutions, to solve
                     complex problems or situations in a changing
                     context, as well as motivating oneself for
                     achievements and for people, being able to lead
                     others and collaborate with them, valuing
                     teamwork. Finally, consider perseverance and
                     resistance to failure to face the challenges in a
                     positive, but realistic way.
