Private Program: 2022 Entrepreneurship in Cuba

In 2021, the Cuban government approved a law to authorize the creation of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), symbolizing a major shift in government’s policy. In this context, AS/COA's Cuba Working Group hosted a private off-the-record discussion with entrepreneurs that focused on the impact of recent developments for SMEs on the island, as well as some of the opportunities and challenges of doing business in the current context.
