13 May Innovation Expo Addresses Critical Island Issues
The Puerto Rico Chamber of Commerce held its “Innovation Expo,” which addressed the issue of Puerto Rican migration to the United States while presenting options for local business leaders and specialists to deal with its impact. Over two days, attendees engaged in forums, luncheons, and conferences led by prominent local and visiting speakers covering topics vital to business success and Puerto Rico’s future.
Galíndez LLC’s Tax Partner, Kenneth Rivera, a well-known expert in his field, led a panel discussion on the Reaction to the Economic Development Challenges resulting from the diaspora. Accompanied by key players in the island’s financial industry, the panel shed light on the hurdles businesses have faced due to the ongoing exodus of local talent and professionals. They also presented viable options for the future based on their extensive experience and knowledge.
The conference presented studies that examined perspectives from the diaspora and Puerto Ricans who have returned in the last five years. It also explored the export opportunities crucial for international business growth. Attendees learned strategies to expand their global reach and increase business opportunities.
