The Minister’s Speech
“It is an honor to invite you to participate in the second edition of the Cuba 2021 Business Forum, which will be held virtually from November 29 to December 2 of this year, with the aim of continuing to promote trade and investment.
In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, this forum will provide an excellent space for exchange between national and foreign entrepreneurs, new Cuban economic actors, including non-state management forms, government representatives, Chambers of Commerce and Trade and Investment Promotion Agencies, who wish to interact and exchange on business and trade with the island.
The second Forum has been conceived to provide spaces for information and exchange about the transformations taking place in the Cuban economy. It will be an excellent opportunity to learn about our main export products (goods and services) and business opportunities in priority sectors such as biopharmaceuticals, tourism and agri-food.
As part of this event, a virtual fair will be held for the first time, allowing entrepreneurs to exhibit their products through the Business Forum platform. Likewise, a Business Forum will be held with the participation of Cubans living abroad with business and investment interests in the island, which will contribute to strengthen the ties between Cubans living in other countries and the nation.
By registering in advance on the Forum’s website, working appointments may be arranged with representatives of companies linked to the external sector of the economy.
Our country will be pleased to count on your participation in the second Cuba 2021 Business Forum through the website: foroempresarial.mincex.gob.cu.
Registration for the event will be available from October 4 until November 25.”
