The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund made a $914,000 grant to Quisqueya University to help enhance the recently established Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation to develop both current and future business leaders of Haiti.
The Center will provide a range of business development services. It will offer training for local consultants and analysts, facilitate businesses transitioning from the informal to the formal economy, and provide advanced managerial training.
From classroom training to hands-on case studies, the Center will give entrepreneurs the skills necessary for their businesses to succeed.
"Given Quisqueya's track record, I am confident that this Center will play a key role in improving the business environment in Haiti," Clinton Bush Haiti Fund's Vice President of Programs and Investments, Paul Altidor said. "The Center will be a destination for business people of all levels. Everyone from aspiring entrepreneurs to senior business executives will have access to an array of resources and training to enable their businesses to thrive."
