Fostering Stakeholder Engagement

Every initiative that InvestPR undertakes, every step forward, every achievement is the result of collaboration. No one organization can act alone to accomplish its mission. This year, we made a concerted effort to harness the power of collaboration with partners across a wide range of sectors, including federal, state and municipal governments, the private sector, NGOs and nonprofits, academia, professional organizations, and others. In our capacity as an economic development organization, we cannot understate the importance of having the foresight to leverage the expertise and input of partners that share our goal.

• Developed a Stakeholder Engagement and Communications Plan and deployed introductory meetings with municipalities and key business organizations on- and off-island.

• Established relationships and collaboration partnerships with over 70 government and business entities for shared initiatives on talent attraction, opportunity-based industry development, and investment promotion for Puerto Rico.

Connected with local industry organizations actively participating in events such as the PR CIO & IT Conference, Foundation for PR Visitor Economy roundtable, COR3 industry roundtables on Tourism and Medical Devices, the DEDC’s First Energy Roundtable, PR SBTDC Annual Meeting, and PRiMEX end of year event.

Launched the East Coast Business Advisory Council with key professionals and entrepreneurs with expertise in their current markets to provide advice and counsel InvestPR in support of business development initiatives and lead generation.
