Internationally renowned entrepreneurship guru Dan isenberg believes Puerto Rico provides fertile ground for entrepreneurship, and in 20 or 30 years, he sees the local economy buoyed by a number of native companies exporting their goods and services to the world.
"I think it could happen five times faster with some intelligent facilitation," isenberg told CARIBBEAN BUSINESS. "Entrepreneurship is part of the human condition. It is like art and music. It is here in Puerto Rico. You can't stamp it out, even though you have done a pretty good job here at trying."
The world investment guru doesn't buy the oft-stated refrain that Puerto Ricans, shaped by the Section 936 experience, are skilled workers and managers, but by and large aren't entrepreneurial.
"Entrepreneurs exist here. I know the people who are trying to do it. There are barriers and obstacles, but they do exist," isenberg said. "You don't need gazillions of people to be entrepreneurs. Not everybody should be an entrepreneur. You need a couple hundred."
