INNOVATE® Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico for many people is associated with the idyllic island located in the heart of the Caribbean basin. An adventure seekers paradise, a tourist hotspot and a must visit destination for enthusiastic travellers, but it is so much more than that. The island, a U.S jurisdiction, is becoming increasingly well known for its innovation and entrepreneurship attracting investment, talent and providing a perfect backdrop for business growth.  With a supportive ecosystem empowering entrepreneurs the island offers a spectrum of assets, including smart tax incentives, a highly skilled bilingual workforce, U.S. legal & financial frameworks, and an advanced network infrastructure.

The island has recently become a global center of the blockchain space and continues to attract a cross section of industries. INNOVATE® Puerto Rico, in partnership with Invest Puerto Rico, showcases the innovators, thought leaders and organizations shaping the future of this vibrant island.
