GEN Assembly

Since 2008, GEN has been a key driver of building ecosystems that remove barriers to entrepreneurship and make it possible for anyone, anywhere, to start or scale a business. A key output of GEC+Puerto Rico is the development of recommendations developed by GEN communities and partners for accelerating a more robust innovation ecosystem throughout throughout Latin America and the Caribbean where all entrepreneurs maximize their potential.

During this session, panelists from the region will discuss practical programs and strategies that implement Vision 2035 and support entrepreneurs as the drivers of economic growth. Participants will learn new ideas for taking action to accelerate entrepreneurship and economic growth in their communities and gain a better understanding of how Vision 2035 will be implemented over the next 10 years.

Participants will hear from GEN leaders driving support for founders, investors, ecosystem builders and government, and learn how to get involved with GEN across different fronts:

  • Helping Build Healthier Ecosystems 
  • Supporting Founders on the Front Line
  • Getting the Right Capital into the Right Hands at the Right Time
  • Getting Decisionmakers the Best Data for Smarter Startup Policymaking
