Alliance / June 2026

PSYI × Quantia

In June 2026, PSYI signed an education and strategic collaboration memorandum with Quantia Hub, an MMG Bank initiative, to bring practical financial education closer to young people in Panama and the region.

The collaboration connects students with industry specialists through recurring sessions on capital markets, investing, company analysis, and responsible financial decision-making. It also creates more opportunities for hands-on learning as PSYI expands its programs.

Selected initiatives

Industry learning

Conversations and workshops with finance leaders, including a portfolio-management session developed with Quantia Hub and MMG Bank.

Financial literacy

Practical education covering budgeting, savings, credit, investing, and long-term financial decision-making.

Entrepreneurship

Public-facing work connecting emerging technology and finance to everyday business, including Conecta Emprende in Betania.

Four-workshop curriculum

Developing a four-workshop sequence for ongoing teaching in public schools, with each workshop building on the previous one to form a complete understanding of personal finance and investing.

Regional expansion

Working to establish four additional national chapters and grow a Pan-American network of students interested in investment, economics, entrepreneurship, and responsible leadership.

Institutional formalization

An ongoing effort to establish PSYI formally as a youth-led foundation in Panama, with the structure needed to sustain its educational mission over time.
