Cuban economy specialists and executives presented this Thursday a Business Guide that gathers information and contact data, both from state enterprises and private enterprises and cooperatives that coexist on the island, to promote interaction, agreements and productive chains among those economic actors.
Named “Para crecer juntos” (To grow together), this instrument will allow access through a mobile application to the entire Cuban business network and will allow business owners to “update and enrich their data, offer all the information that allows them to advertise their goods, services, projects, needs or business,” said the vice president of Cuba’s National Association of Economists and Accountants (ANEC), Ramón Labañino.
