To uplift the hemisphere, Luis Almagro, Secretary General of the Organization of American States and Concordia Leadership Council Member, said, entrepreneurship is key. Economic prosperity can create the stability where democracy flourishes. This is why, he continued, the government and the private sector must work together. Democracy can’t be sustained without social and economic prospects. International finance needs to help, but the private sector needs bankable projects. Enriching the region empowers consumers and business people alike.

Key takeaways & next steps:

  • Entrepreneurship is key to creating economic prosperity and thereby strengthening democracy in the Americas.

“Entrepreneurship is the engine of economic growth, employment, and development.”
