Ecuador: Creating an Inclusive Business Model
Thursday, May 31
9:00 - 11:30 a.m.
B1-A/B Conference Center
1800 K St. NW, Washington, DC 20006
As Latin America continues efforts to lift its citizens out of poverty, the spotlight is on
increasing the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Ecuador's
recent efforts to build innovative partnerships for SMEs between the government, private
businesses, and local communities offer an example of how to achieve this. To highlight
these efforts, the CSIS Americas Program is proud to host Ecuador's Coordinating
Minister for Social Development Policy Richard Espinosa, Minister of Industry and
Productivity Veronica Sion, and Minister of Labor Francisco Vacas. We will also be joined
by several representatives of Ecuador's business sector and community leaders that have
partnered and created successful businesses. Please join us for an informative and
timely look into how Ecuador is constructing a better business environment by promoting
profitable associations between large and small businesses, and what the region can
learn from such efforts.
The event will be in Spanish with simultaneous translation provided.
Open to the public, however space is limited. To RSVP, please send confirmation to the
Americas Program at americas@csis.org.
