Our goal is not only to offer financial services, but also to support Venezuelans with quality training that ensures their ventures are profitable and sustainable,” said José Simón Elarba, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bancamiga.

Guided by experts in various fields of management and innovation, participants explored critical areas for business success, such as the purpose of entrepreneurship, in order to define their long-term vision; and their business model and value proposition, to differentiate themselves in the current market. They also learned strategies for connecting with their ideal audience.

Promoting entrepreneurship and business development among Venezuelans are fundamental pillars of Bancamiga Banco Universal’s Corporate Social Responsibility strategy. This initiative is part of a robust training program that, since its inception in 2022, has positively impacted more than 7,000 Venezuelans with a business vision throughout the country.

In addition to academic training, participants had the opportunity to learn firsthand about the portfolio of products and services that Bancamiga offers to small and medium-sized businesses.

The state of La Guaira, a Special Economic Zone (EEZ) in the country, exported more than 100 tons of fish to Europe this month, according to its sole authority, Marcos Meléndez.

The official indicated that this figure represents positive progress for the productive sector, in addition to strengthening international investment and the territorial development plan.

Meléndez highlighted that a total of 112 tons of fish products, primarily octopus, were exported from La Guaira state to European markets, “as part of the boost to the non-oil economy being developed in the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) of the state.”

The shipment was processed at a fish processing plant located in the Venezuelan coastal state, “one of the strategic projects linked to food sovereignty and with an export focus. The specific destinations are being kept confidential to protect international trade agreements and investors.”

The sole authority of the SEZ explained that the fish export is part of a set of nine development projects aimed at strengthening national production, attracting foreign investment, and generating foreign exchange.

“Among these initiatives, the construction of the wheat mill in Catia La Mar also stands out, as well as the tourism projects under development, such as the Camurimar and Bahía Sunset hotels in the Caraballeda parish, which aim to enhance the state’s recreational and economic profile,” Meléndez noted.

Venezuela is experiencing tense moments after several explosions occurred at various military targets early Saturday morning, January 3, and President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured.

According to local and international media, in a statement from the White House, US President Donald Trump confirmed an attack on the Mountain Barracks, the Port of La Guaira, La Carlota Airport, and Fort Tiuna, and the subsequent extraction of Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.

A State of External Disturbance was declared throughout the country, according to a message disseminated via Telegram by Foreign Minister Yván Gil, who stated: “The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela rejects, repudiates, and denounces before the international community the extremely serious military aggression perpetrated by the current government of the United States of America.”

For her part, Vice President Delcy Rodríguez “confirmed at 6:00 a.m. this Saturday, January 3, that Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores were captured by US forces” and demanded that the Trump administration provide proof of life for both of them.

Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi announced early this morning that Maduro and his wife “have been indicted in the Southern District of New York on charges of narco-terrorism conspiracy, conspiracy to import cocaine, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices against the United States.”

The creation of the Special Economic Zone (ZEE in Spanish) in the Venezuelan state of La Guaira, promoted by President Nicolás Maduro, has attracted investment and created more than 4,000 jobs.

Governor José Alejandro Terán emphasized this last week in an interview with the state television channel, adding that “this initiative seeks to generate incentives for the private sector to promote investment in the country.”

He detailed that an “exceptional legal framework has been established that provides the necessary incentive to invest in the region,” including projects under development through partnerships with other nations, such as “a fully operational sunflower oil processing plant, a fish processing plant, and a toy factory with an initial capacity of approximately 50,000 toys per month.”

Terán also mentioned agreements already signed with two factories: one for fiber optics and another for yarns and fabrics. “In that context,” he announced, “the largest wheat processing plant in Latin America will be inaugurated soon.”

Through the “La Guaira Emprende Plan,” regional authorities have activated “the commercial and tourism sector, for the enjoyment of both residents and visitors.”

He is known for his avant-garde, experimental, and groundbreaking cuisine. He creates dishes that deceive the eye but surprise the palate. He has taken cooking to new limits by fusing gastronomy with art, philosophy, theater, and neuroscience. That’s Andoni Luis Aduriz.

As part of the Sabores del Alma campaign and with the support of Bancamiga and Mastercard, this renowned chef’s dishes will delight 240 guests for two days at the Mola restaurant in Las Mercedes (Caracas). His techniques, wisdom, and essence will unite with those of a team of Venezuelan chefs to present a fusion of flavors.

The founder of Mugaritz, in Rentería (Errenteria in Basque), Basque Country, studied at the San Sebastián Hospitality School, where he began to develop his passion for cooking. He has worked with renowned chefs such as Juan Mari Arzak and Martín Berasategui. Between 1993 and 1994, he was part of the El Bulli team, under the direction of Ferran Adrià. Today, he is an international benchmark in culinary research and development.

On his first visit to Venezuela, the winner of The Best Chef Science Award 2022 and a mentor at institutions such as Harvard and MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) hopes to bring to the table creations that take diners beyond conventional parameters and generate unforgettable experiences, one of the goals that Bancamiga and Mastercard pursue with Sabores del Alma.

In addition to being a place to eat, Mugaritz serves as an experiment to explore flavors, textures, and narratives that challenge culinary customs. The same will happen with Mola this June 18 and 19. Customers will have the opportunity to appreciate how Andoni Luis Aduriz’s cuisine combines such diverse products and ingredients, abandoning traditional dishes in favor of pieces from prominent Venezuelan artists and artisans.

The founder of the Basque Culinary Center will show special Bancamiga and Mastercard clients dishes that break with the traditional, offering sensorial freedom and reaffirming why Mugaritz has two Michelin stars and three Repsol suns.

The tropicalized menu, featuring creations such as Entropía (cacao, seeds, and a return to the Chacao market), Oximoron (a Margarita Island ladle and summer truffle), Bestiario (onion and squid), Textura (fish with fish), and Sobremesear (7 capital virtues, and all the “kakao” of Venezuela), will allow guests to explore an explosive combination of flavors and sensations. Andoni Luis Aduriz confirms the reasons why Forbes magazine included him among the 100 most creative people in the world.

During a conference on Thursday with the country’s governors, mayors and business sectors, Nicolás Maduro decreed four special economic zones (ZEE in Spanish) that will allow, according to the president, the transition towards a post-oil economic model.

Maduro pointed out: “I am sure (that this) will allow us (…) to continue advancing, with great determination, with great perseverance, in the construction of a new economic model that allows the integration, perfectly, of the economic, productive, technology from the different regions of the country, with new sources of national (…) and international investment.”

The first ZEE is La Tortuga Island, where “one of the most important (tourist) projects” will be developed in the Caribbean, “made” by “an Italian company” to promote the activity. In second place is the Paraguaná peninsula, in the Falcón state, in the west of the country, facing the Caribbean Sea. Then, in third place, is the coastal state of La Guaira, where the development of “activities related to tourism, fishing and industry” is planned. And fourth, the military ZEE in the state of Aragua (central-north) for the “development of all the scientific, technological and industrial potential of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB).”

According to Maduro, these special economic zones will promote the “path of technological and industrial development” and the “diversification of sources of income” for the nation.

The executive vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, who participated in the meeting, indicated that among the incentives established by the ZEE Law is “a 50 % reduction in port and customs services for exports”, in addition to the “reimbursement of Tax On Income (ISLR), which can reach, in the first six years, up to 100%, depending on the export activity.”

Venezuela activated a tourist route for visitors that it will receive within the framework of the 65th edition of the Caribbean Series, the most important baseball competition in Latin America that will be held in Caracas and La Guaira between February 2 and 10, reported the mayor of the Venezuelan capital, Carmen Meléndez.

«The tourist route of Caracas is ready, with different options that will allow everyone to tour the capital city. We are going to launch this route with the 2023 Caribbean Series so that visitors can enjoy so many wonderful places, “she wrote on her Twitter account.

She added that “a great team” is part of this tourist proposal in which they intend to “show with love” the city that will host the tournament.

The Minister of Sport, Mervin Maldonado, assured that the country is ready to host the 65th edition of the Caribbean Series, which, he predicted, “will be the best in history.”

Venezuela has not hosted the competition since 2014, when it was held on the island of Margarita, and the last time it won this title was in 2009, in Mexico, thanks to Tigres de Aragua.
