The State Department is looking for businesses! Have what it takes?

This is a great opportunity for Haitian-Americans seeking funding for entrepreneurial projects in Haiti:

On Tuesday, June 12th from 6-8pm in the court room of Brooklyn Borough Hall (209 Joralemon Street Brooklyn, NY 11201), the State Department, along with partner IDB, will introduce to NYC the Caribbean Idea Marketplace (CIM).

The CIM is a business competition platform that encourages local and Diaspora entrepreneurs to forge partnerships around innovative projects that will generate employment and economic opportunities in the Caribbean region by providing US$100,000 grant funding for winning projects.

Attend and encourage your networks to attend as the State Department promises this to be a different type and level of engagement with the Caribbean community.

This opportunity is NOT LIMITED to Haitian Americans in New York State
