We’ll take a closer look at Puerto Rico’s technology landscape and why the island has become a haven for innovative founders and strategic investors. With markets saturated in San Francisco and Miami, other tech towns across America, such as Salt Lake City, Nashville, and Raleigh, are gaining dominance. Uncover why Puerto Rico is emerging as a rival competitor to these tech hubs. Where are the opportunities now and how should investors be thinking about diversifying their portfolio? We’ll convene industry leaders to discuss the strategic initiatives to realize this vision and what’s behind the boom in this founder-friendly paradise.
