Washington, D.C., January 25th, 2021 – In an effort to demonstrate its continued focus on small business development and expansion, The National Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce has partnered with Brands of Puerto Rico, an e-commerce platform based in San Juan which enables Puerto Rican entrepreneurs to market their products to the rest of the world. With this partnership, we look to continue to build a bridge between two distinct small business ecosystems.
The NPR Chamber’s National Director of Small Business Development, Joel Berrocal, had this to say about the partnership with Brands of Puerto Rico: “I can’t tell you how excited I am to be able to work with Brands of Puerto. When I first met Alan and Nestor, I knew that there was an incredible synergy between our two organizations. With our footprint in the United States and theirs in Puerto Rico, we have an incredible opportunity to truly develop Puerto Rico’s small business ecosystem.”
Brands of Puerto Rico co-founder Alan Taveras added his own thoughts about the benefit of the new partnership with the NPR Chamber: “We have been aggressively implementing a “growth by partnering” strategy since we launched our company with the mission to help local companies in Puerto Rico export their products. We are honored to announce our first partnership with a US-based organization. Aside from having a shared vision, empower Puerto Rican entrepreneurs, this partnership will strengthen the bridge of collaboration between entrepreneurs on the island and those who live on the mainland while adding value to the brands that are part of Brands of Puerto Rico.”
