KHIPU, 40 YEARS IN THE SERVICE OF EDUCATION, TECHNOLOGY AND OF SHARING CUSCO ANCESTRAL CULTURE
Since 1983, Khipu has set a precedent for innovation by bringing the first computer to Cusco and using it to provide quality education. Many of the regional leaders are Khipu graduates, helping our local economy.
In these 40 years of uninterrupted labor, we have built an educational systeml that has benefited generations of young people, following the advances of the digital age as well as Andean knowledge and spirit. Our house of studies has linked tradition and modernity, identity and technology.
In the mid-80s we sent the first e-mail in Quechua from Cusco to Massachusetts, United States. In 1987, we created the Khipu Institute and in 1997, we proposed the prototype of the first transactional portal for tourist reservations, “from Cusco to the World” commissioned by the OAS.
Khipu has not rested on its contribution to education, technology and culture. During the global pandemic we deployed digital platforms that allow students, teachers, and workers to continue their activities. We implemented a cultural portal for the creative and intellectual development of Cusco completely free of charge and accessible on social networks. Our database registers more than 800 cultural, academic and artistic activities of great impact in Cusco and contemporary Peru.
We have established the recognition to the “Khipukamayoq” to honor Peruvian researchers and artists following their example and the principles of our ancestral Andean culture: Knowledge, Work, Love, Relationship and Life Khipu Educational Corporation has sown gratitude, merit and recognition in 40 years of institutional life. In June 2022, the Provincial Municipality of Cusco awarded us the Medal of the City, the highest recognition in the imperial city; and in May 2023, by means of Ministerial Resolution Nr. 200-2023, the Ministry of Education granted Khipu Corporation the Licensing as the first Private Technological Higher Education School in the South of Peru.
INKALAB, PASSION FOR INNOVATION
Our passion for innovation is channeled in our organization through INKALAB, our innovation and quality laboratories located in the Sacred Valley of the Inkas, at the entrance to the Historic Sanctuary of Machupicchu. We are a pioneering model of monitoring and continuous improvement. Tourism activity is being developed with interesting initiatives such as a Tourism Observatory (following the guidelines of the World Tourism Organization – UNWTO); a Software Factory focused on the creation of computer applications for micro and small businesses in the tourism sector is planned; along with a new model of Corporate Social Responsibility for young people residing in areas protected by the Peruvian State, in their connection to tourism and international trade.
