This year, the BrandHaiti Second Annual Business Symposium entitled “Investing in Haiti: Challenges, Strategies, Opportunities” will take place in Cabot Auditorium at the Fletcher School Saturday, February 11th, from 10:30AM to 5:00PM (ET). The purpose of the symposium is to bring the entrepreneurial potential of Haiti to the forefront of economic policy while simultaneously deconstructing the negative conceptions too often associated with the country. This symposium will assemble prominent members of the business community, students, activists, and organizations that currently work to ameliorate the Haitian economy, but who will also discuss the promising future for a sovereign Haitian with an innovative private sector. It is our hope that you will share your vast personal and professional experiences with the students, academics, activists, economists, and investors in attendance during the question and answer sessions of our four panels:
1. Entrepreneurship
2. Investment Industries
3. Infrastructure & Economic Development
