"Why has BELTRAIDE and the UB seen it as important to have a workshop such as this?"
Christine Smith
"This is part of a regional workshop. This workshop is being doing in Central America as well as the Dominican Republic. The funds for the seed capital was obtained by the Taiwan Government and so it is a part of a process that starts off with this first training and then there's a training for entrepreneurs as well as two other trainings and then after they will access the seed fund. What we're hoping from this training is to get a group of mentors to work with the entrepreneurs."
