Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia offered a message Monday at the Global Entrepreneurship Congress in San Juan in which he highlighted the progress of entrepreneurship ecosystems on the island and the public policy implemented by his administration to promote a culture of entrepreneurship, which he said is key to sustainable economic growth.
“As governor, I have made sure to lead an administration committed to creating an environment that promotes the entrepreneurial spirit of our people and that also encourages innovation at all levels of our economy,” Pierluisi said in a written statement. “Establishing public policy that seeks to position Puerto Rico as an ‘Entrepreneurial Island’ is a clear manifestation of our commitment. It is essential to promote entrepreneurship as not only being about creating companies, but also about creating a mindset of innovation and creativity that transcends all aspects of our society, as it is a powerful tool to promote job creation and competitiveness to generate economic development,”
The governor added that “by promoting [entrepreneurship] through our ‘Entrepreneurial Island’ public policy we are laying the foundations to create a robust business culture, promote the adequate training of our human capital and establish the necessary support for our economy to achieve a more prosperous and innovative future.”
“Together, we can become a global benchmark for entrepreneurship and creativity,” he told the congress.
