Bancamiga reaffirmed its commitment to the country’s economic development by training more than 400 entrepreneurs from Valencia and Caracas with the “Keys to Entrepreneurship in Venezuela” forums, which offer essential tools and strategic knowledge to strengthen business initiatives.
“For Bancamiga, supporting entrepreneurs is essential within its social responsibility policy, because we know that consolidating their businesses is fundamental to the country’s development. That’s why we remain focused on expanding and maintaining our training programs throughout the country,” stated José Simón Elarba, President of the Bancamiga Board of Directors.
During the forums, business owners and microentrepreneurs from the central region of the country were able to delve deeper into some of the chapters of the “Entrepreneurs’ Manual: Ten Key Questions for Starting a Business in Venezuela,” a fundamental guide published by the Fondo Editorial Bancamiga for those beginning their entrepreneurial journey.
Participants in both forums also had access to a special program to open accounts, acquire points of sale, and learn about the financial products and services offered by the bank.
The conference program featured prominent experts in various fields, such as Ana Isabel Hernández, business and purpose-driven brand advisor; Mauricio Parilli, director of Aprendo y Emprendo; Luis Moreno, entrepreneurship coach; and Martha Lucero, brand advisor.
Also presenting were Oskayda Alvarado, Entrepreneurship Manager at Bancamiga, who detailed the bank’s financing opportunities and product portfolio for people with business initiatives, according to a statement from the institution.
Training in Valencia
The training session, held in the Naguanagua sector of Valencia, Carabobo State, was made possible through a partnership with Cáritas de Venezuela and brought together women entrepreneurs.
“This has been a great opportunity to expand our minds, to believe in ourselves and that anything is possible. Through these training sessions, they can continue to develop,” said Desire López, entrepreneur and coordinator of Cáritas Valencia.
Yusleidy Barrios, gastronomic entrepreneur from @YusleDelicias, commented: “These types of events truly help us; they provide us with training in purpose, structure, and expense and cost management. They motivate us to continue growing and projecting our businesses.”
Forum in Caracas
The Candelaria parish was another venue for the “Keys to Entrepreneurship in Venezuela” forum, attended by people with business initiatives from the Libertador municipality of Caracas.
Father Gerardino Barracchini, vice-postulator for the cause of José Gregorio Hernández, acknowledged that “without the mutual support of private companies and communities, there is no progress. I believe this forum for entrepreneurs in La Candelaria is very useful, a popular area where many people want to start a business but don’t know how to organize one.”
“I learned a little more, that it’s not just about making a product and selling it, but doing so from the perspective of the person you’re going to offer it to,” admitted entrepreneur Alexander Martínez.
So far in 2025, more than 2,000 people have been trained with Bancamiga. With its business development program, the financial institution reaffirms its mission to join forces for the country’s growth, providing Venezuelan entrepreneurs with the knowledge and resources necessary to transform their ideas into successful and sustainable businesses, thus contributing to Venezuela’s economic progress.
