SAN JUAN - The NPR Chamber was proud to join BĀSED and Founder, Gustavo Diaz at their official launch event held at The Landmark co-working space in the Miramar section of San Juan.
I founded BĀSED. knowing - through data and experience - that Puerto Rico holds the potential to transform into one of the top innovation and technology leaders in the world. It has done so in the past, and now, with a quickly changing global environment, it can do it again. Puerto Rico is expanding fervently into the future because it must and it can do so -- since it has learned valuable lessons through adversity. Lessons with which other parts of the world are just now starting to grapple.
The event was attended by some of the best business and non-profit leaders Puerto Rico has to offer. It was a true showcase of the island’s abundance of talent. Thank you to Gustavo and his team at BĀSED, the Puerto Rico entrepreneurial ecosystem has a place to be showcased, highlighted, and archived for readers to see not only where we came from, but also where we’re going.
Be sure to stay tuned for updates regarding our partnership with BĀSED. We have a lot in store for our Small Business Members, including discounted subscription costs, sponsorships, opportunities to be interviewed, and so much more!
