The event is designed for investors, developers, entrepreneurs, capital managers, directors of nonprofit organizations and government officials, among others.
“Icon is a one-of-a-kind platform that presents the different competitive advantages that our local market offers to conduct business,” said Karla Barrera, co-founder of the Puerto Rico Icon Institute.
“Our goal is to make Puerto Rico a mecca for the critical thinking of ideas needed to create a positive impact in the local economy,” said Barrera.

The panels will cover a range of topics such as: biotechnology and healthcare, food security, real estate, local investment opportunities, the future of sustainable energy in Puerto Rico, among others.
On its YouTube channel, the Puerto Rico Icon Institute will launch a series of podcasts titled “Meet our Icons” sparking deeper conversations on the topics to be discussed during the event, organizers said.
“At Icon, we seek to join the efforts of great leaders to find real solutions that can directly benefit Puerto Rico,” said Richard Santana, co-founder of the Puerto Rico Icon Institute.
The Icon Conference, together with its Mentorship Day event, is one of the initiatives the nonprofit supports to promote the intellectual exchange necessary for the economic development of the island.
The Institute will dedicate a portion of Icon’s net proceeds to local farmers affected by Hurricane Fiona.
