According to the organizing committee, the date to be set will be widely disseminated in the media and social networks.
The Provincial Government launched the call at the beginning of this year, with the aim to promote the integration between the different forms of management existing in the territory.

The event will promote the exchange of experiences between companies, cooperatives and self-employed workers, as well as the socialization of practices, based on the mechanisms provided by current Cuban legislation, to enter freely convertible currency (MLC).
Leonardo Bruzón, head of the Department of Foreign Trade, Foreign Investment and Economic Collaboration of the Government, at the head of the organizing committee of the forum, added that the meeting will aim to bring MLC through the export of goods and services, sales in the Mariel Special Development Zone or the network of stores that operate in that currency.
Given the country's need to substitute imports, the event will maintain the purpose of identifying new suppliers for tourism, one of the main economic sectors of this eastern province.
Under the slogan " Holguineros conquistando el desarrollo”, the Entrepreneurs' Forum will work as an agent of change for alliances between state and non-state sectors in the economy, in a context marked by the monetary reordering process and the COVID-19 pandemic.
