What is Puerto Rico is the Answer?
Puerto Rico is the Answer is a non-profit organization created to further Puerto Rico’s prosperity by promoting and facilitating investment on the Island. We are not selling anything as part of this project nor directly benefitting from its expected successes. In fact, any potential revenue will be contributed to the Puerto Rican Community Foundation.
We are successful businessmen with a deep-seated belief in Puerto Rico’s economic potential. And we are certain that once you start seeing what is available, you will see its potential for your business development. So, wherever you are in the world, come visit us. You will discover a new island of undeveloped treasures in the Caribbean.
Our Vision & Mission
We envision a Puerto Rico where a vibrant economy brings prosperity to all its citizens and future generations to come. A country that will successfully insert itself in the global economic picture that has emerged in recent decades and will be the norm for decades to come.
PRANS will implement action plans aimed at energizing Puerto Rico’s economy by promoting and facilitating investment on the Island.

How We Work
PRANS has identified a number of economic sectors in which Puerto Rico is competitive. Local prominent businesspersons from these sectors donate their time to help guide potential investors through the process of evaluating and setting up their investment projects.
Through these sector leaders and members, potential investors have access to a valuable perspective of entrepreneurs who have succeeded in Puerto Rico and who can help navigate the opportunities and obstacles that investment projects can face.
Although we are a non-profit private organization, we work closely with government to help potential investors reach the appropriate contacts. The Secretary of Economic Development and Commerce at the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is a member of our Executive Board.

Alliances
Puerto Rico is the Answer has partnered with the Puerto Rico Global Initiative in an alliance that takes advantage of the Initiative’s Puerto Rico Global Investments program, aimed at engaging with the Puerto Rican Diaspora to generate potential investment leads, which PRANS will then guide in the process of decision making and setting up.
The Puerto Rico Global Initiative aims to facilitate communication and linkages among business leaders, entrepreneurs, executives, investors and students with a connection or interest in Puerto Rico – and a strong desire to see Puerto Rican businesses and professionals succeed both locally and in the global market.
The Initiative is part of ConPRmetidos, a Millennials-led Think-and-Do Tank dedicated to advancing innovative solutions that enhance Puerto Rico’s economic competitiveness.
