Trade missions are carried out to identify additional business opportunities for local entrepreneurs. Recently, the Department of State participated in two multi-sector trade missions coordinated with the Department of Economic Development and Commerce: one to the Dominican Republic and a second one to Spain.
For this trade mission, some twenty Puerto Rican companies from various economic sectors traveled to the Dominican Republic to offer their goods and services. The agenda of this business event included meetings with potential Dominican clients and activities with business organizations.
More than 50 Puerto Rican entrepreneurs participated in this trade mission to Spain. During this business meeting, local entrepreneurs had the opportunity to explore possible business opportunities in the European market. Participants had an agenda of business appointments for their services and products, workshops where legal and logistics issues were discussed, among other topics.
