Colmena66 is taking its “Tu Camino Empresarial” tour to Humacao on Nov. 21, during Global Entrepreneurship Week. The free event at the Dr. Águedo Mojica Marrero Fine Arts Center begins at 8 a.m. and offers resources for entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals at all stages of development.
“At Colmena66, we’re committed to facilitating access to the information and resources necessary for entrepreneurs to quickly connect with the support they need at each stage of their business development,” said Denisse Rodríguez, executive director of Colmena66.

This tool helps identify resources based on business type and development stage, promoting comprehensive growth.
Designed using data from the Annual Entrepreneurship Survey, the event agenda includes sessions on validating business ideas, financial education, marketing, sales, digital strategies, capital access and permits.
Individualized mentoring will be available at the Mentor Hub, and El Panal Expo will feature more than 20 support organizations offering incubation, training and government resources.
