ACTIVITIES

ACTIVITIES TO HELP ENTREPRENEURS

Some of these activities are held once or twice a year, while others are held every week during the year.

AREAS IN WHICH ACTIVITIES ARE CARRIED OUT

We've put together four different types of activities: first, we have programs aimed at educating aspiring entrepreneurs; second, we offer resources for those looking to support and invest in other people's businesses. Then, we focus on mobilizing various stakeholders across the country to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and real-world application. Lastly, we have initiatives designed to engage the diaspora, encouraging them to invest in and contribute to the development of Haiti.

YEARLY ACTIVITIES

Check out the complete activities for the whole year. All of these activities are held once or twice a year, while others are held every week during the year.
