The Emergence of Puerto Rico’s Tech Community

Brian Breslin is a tech blogger and thought-leader in the Miami area. At the recent Puerto Rico Tech Summit, he had an in-depth discussion with Giancarlo Gonzalez, Puerto Rico’s new CIO, about the development challenges and growth potential of Puerto Rico’s tech community.

Below is an excerpt from an article posted on The Starting Gate regarding this emerging tech community:

Puerto Rico, or at least San Juan, has the framework in place to grow its community in ways that very few Latin cities have. Puerto Rico has US benefits as well as numerous corporate tax and R&D incentives to boot. With the support the local government is showing for the community (there are a few coworking and incubator spaces in the works in San Juan as well as financial assistance for
startups) and the low cost of living paired with access to the US market (don’t forget they are part of the United States), Puerto Rico’s startup community is poised to explode in the next few years.
