The Founder Institute, the world’s largest start-up accelerator with more than 750 graduate companies, recently announced that applications are open for the Puerto Rico Spring 2013 semester session.
Under the slogan "We’re all entrepreneurs," 125 young people between the ages of 18 and 22, were sworn-in as members of the Puerto Rico Chamber of Commerce through its College Chapters committee, in an activity held in San Juan that seeks to develop an entrepreneurial attitude for the island’s economic well-being and social development.
The upcoming corporate relocation of a leading convenience store chain to a long-shuttered Loíza Street building, from which it will also run a Quiznos Sub, offers further proof of the ongoing revitalization that is pumping considerable money and breathing renewed vigor into this well-known San Juan area unique for embracing all economic classes: from low-income and middle class to the rich.
