BELTRAIDE and the Taiwanese Embassy has been collaborating for the last 2 days. They're were working to give 80 entrepreneurs training and a business opportunity to strengthen and grow their enterprises and access funding.
It's but one of the attempts to grow the countries medium, small, and micro enterprises, and today we stopped in to speak with one of the organizers about how it will went:
Christine Smith - National Advisor, Regional Entrepreneurship Program
"We are doing the second round of entrepreneurship training. It's a regional program that is piloted in Central America and the Dominican Republic. It involves training entrepreneurs. There are two rounds of training; this is the first training. After this training each entrepreneur will produce a video pitch which will be evaluated by a panel of judges. Those who are successful comes back to a second round of training, go through the process of doing the video pitch as well and they present to an evaluation panel and those who are successful will received seed capital to help them on their business."
Last year 18 candidates benefited from the program when they received funding to grow their business. The main facilitators were representatives from the Center for the Promotion of Micro and Small Enterprises.
