Behind every ancient document, every religious painting, and every corner of the historic center of Caracas, there is a story that defines us as Venezuelans. Aware of the importance of keeping these traditions alive, Bancamiga has decided to take a proactive step to support the operations of the Sacred Art Museum of Caracas and the Archdiocese Historical Archive, ensuring that their valuable legacy remains accessible to everyone.

This alliance goes far beyond a financial contribution. It is a genuine commitment to culture. The bank’s support will guarantee that the multidisciplinary team that brings these spaces to life—archivists, restorers, museum professionals, guides, administrative and security personnel—can continue their daily work of protecting, researching, and showcasing the treasures they safeguard to the world.

An alliance where culture is the winner

For Father Gaspere Salerno, director of the Historical Archive and president of the Sacred Art Museum, this agreement represents a breath of fresh air and a golden opportunity for both parties.

“It has been a very interesting synergy, where both institutions benefit. Bancamiga promotes Venezuelan art and culture, while we conserve, restore, and disseminate this religious heritage, which is vital for the Church and, above all, for the entire nation.”

To understand the value of these spaces, it’s worth highlighting what they safeguard:

The Archdiocesan Historical Archive: one of the most important documentary treasures in the country. Its shelves hold records and histories dating back to the 16th century. It is an inexhaustible source for understanding Venezuela’s past.

The Sacred Art Museum: more than a static place, it is a vibrant center for spiritual, educational, and cultural encounters. It houses one of the most impressive collections of religious art in the region and offers diplomas and advanced studies in sacred art in partnership with national universities.

Visit them!

Located in the heart of the capital’s historic center, the Sacred Art Museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, from 10:00 am to 5:30 pm. Its schedule is always active with guided tours, talks, and exhibitions that connect the past with the present.

In addition, in partnership with national universities, it offers advanced studies in sacred art and ecclesiastical historical archives, as well as specialized diplomas.

With its financial backing, Bancamiga ensures that the doors of both centers will remain open and will serve to design new educational projects and activities, so that more Venezuelans can reconnect with their own history.

Bancamiga made a significant donation to San Juan de Dios Hospital in Caracas, with the main objective of strengthening the operational capacity of the healthcare center and ensuring that more Venezuelans have access to top-tier medical services.

As a financial institution committed to the country’s development, Bancamiga focuses its social responsibility efforts on fundamental pillars such as health and social well-being. With this contribution, the bank actively joins the mission of San Juan de Dios Hospital, a non-profit institution dedicated to raising funds to support the most vulnerable families, providing them with excellent care and helping them overcome their health problems.

“Financially supporting San Juan de Dios Hospital is an investment in the lives and futures of thousands of children and adults who find in this center a light, a hope, and answers to their medical needs with the highest standards of service, human warmth, and professionalism,” highlighted José Simón Elarba, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bancamiga.

For his part, Dr. Luis Azpurua, Medical Director of San Juan de Dios Hospital, thanked Bancamiga for its support and clarified that the money received will be invested in medical equipment, always with the intention of serving the population, especially those most in need.

“We want to provide healthcare services to the middle class and those most in need at a reasonable price,” the doctor emphasized.

A health ally

San Juan de Dios Hospital is a leading healthcare provider in Caracas, thanks to its multidisciplinary team and infrastructure adapted to the needs of the population. In 2025 alone, this institution provided outpatient care to more than 25,000 people.

The medical center offers a wide range of services and 36 medical specialties. These include pediatric and adult specialty consultations; a diagnostic and laboratory unit; surgery; and a physical rehabilitation area.

“We are making it clear that there is a God who welcomes and heals everyone. Bancamiga should feel happy and proud because, with God, they are trying to spread goodness,” said Julio Gonzalo Parada, General Director of San Juan de Dios Hospital, regarding the bank’s act of solidarity.

With this alliance, Bancamiga and San Juan de Dios Hospital are consolidating a joint effort that transforms social responsibility into concrete actions, ensuring that quality healthcare remains accessible to those who need it most.

Bancamiga made a significant donation to the Central University of Venezuela (UCV), aimed at comprehensively modernizing its communications platform and optimizing critical areas of its technological infrastructure, demonstrating its firm commitment to sustainable development, cutting-edge education, and the future of Venezuela, stated José Simón Elarba, Chairman of the bank’s Board of Directors.

To date, the UCV community relied on a platform with local servers and outdated open-source collaborative software, with limited capacity that only allowed it to serve administrative and teaching staff.

“Now, with Bancamiga’s support, a complete migration to Google’s global infrastructure will begin. This large-scale modernization project will be implemented progressively over the course of a year, thanks to this donation we have made to UCV to boost the academic activity of one of the region’s most important universities,” explained Elarba.

Impact and transformation

This digital transformation will completely eliminate dependence on hardware and constant software updates, drastically reducing high server maintenance costs.

Google’s platform, widely known worldwide for its proven effectiveness and high security, will benefit an estimated 35,000 users, comprised of 70 % students and 30 % faculty, administrative, and support staff.

Under a single institutional identity, the university community will be able to guarantee access to the system from anywhere in the world.

The donation also included the reactivation of the air conditioning system at the Radio, Television, and Multimedia Management office

The direct impact of this corporate social responsibility contribution from Bancamiga will translate into a qualitative leap for the university. Users will have access to leading Google tools such as Meet, Drive, and Classroom, among others, as well as cutting-edge technologies like Gemini Artificial Intelligence.

The project’s implementation will enhance the scope of research, projects, and daily tasks related to communication, editing, calculation, and audiovisual production for those at UCV, once again positioning the institution at the forefront of education.

Infrastructure restoration

The project financed by Bancamiga also addressed a critical need on campus. The bank assumed responsibility for the maintenance, repair, replacement of parts, and commissioning of 11 central air conditioning units, each with a capacity of 5 tons. These units serve the Radio, Television, and Multimedia Management department, which designs and produces audiovisual content, radio programs, and virtual environments to optimize teaching and learning processes at the institution.

With this strategic alliance, Bancamiga reaffirms its role as a key company with a robust social responsibility program in Venezuela, demonstrating that supporting higher education and bridging the digital divide are fundamental pillars for the country’s sustainable human development.

Despite current tensions following US actions in Venezuela, Russia’s representative to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzia, indicated on Thursday, February 5, that they will continue to strengthen relations with the South American country.

According to Nebenzia, “Moscow will continue to support Venezuela and reinforce its strategic partnership with the South American country”. The announcement comes in a context of international tensions, marked by new US sanctions and the UN’s call to “respect the sovereignty of nations.”

Nebenzia assured that Russia’s support for Venezuela will continue in all areas of cooperation. For his part, the Venezuelan ambassador to Moscow, Jesús Rafael Salazar Velásquez, “confirmed that the strategic partnership treaty signed in May 2025 between the two countries remains in effect and is being implemented through joint projects in energy, defense, and technological development.”

Regarding the agreements between the two countries, Salazar stated: “We will continue to implement what has been established in the treaty in all areas.”

Bancamiga presented a new editorial and multimedia project entitled “Manual for Entrepreneurs. 10 Key Questions for Entrepreneurship in Venezuela,” a tool designed to provide support and guidance to those who want to start or boost their businesses in the country.

The project was created to address the concerns and needs expressed by thousands of Venezuelan entrepreneurs during the forums, seminars, and training workshops organized by Bancamiga nationwide since 2022. The manual compiles the 10 most frequently asked questions by entrepreneurs and offers clear and practical answers from experts in different fields.

A resource for success

“We are proud to share the second title from the Bancamiga Publishing Fund. An innovative proposal that addresses the concerns of entrepreneurs. We are confident that this will be an effective and essential tool for all those who want to develop their business ideas and projects,” said José Simón Elarba, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bancamiga Banco Universal.

The Entrepreneurs Manual is a medium-format, 164-page print edition, combined with digital resources to facilitate learning and the application of knowledge.

Each chapter, dedicated to one of the 10 key questions, has been developed by a specialist in the field and includes a QR code that provides access to available practical tools or resources. Readers can also complement their learning with explanatory videos created by experts, which delve deeper into the topics covered in each section.

Top-notch team

The manual features the collaboration of a distinguished group of professionals with extensive experience in business and academia, including Scampola Aponte and Yoel González, professors at UCAB; Edwin Ojeda, professor at IESA; Tomiris Useche, specialist in sustainable development finance at UNDP Venezuela; and UNDP Venezuela consultants, sociologist Gustavo González and economist Francisco Rodríguez.

Also contributing were Claudia Valladares, president of Impact Hub Caracas; Ana Isabel Hernández, business and brand consultant; Isa Bermúdez, marketing, innovation, and sales strategist; and economist Luis Oliveros, Dean of the Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences at the Metropolitan University.

The common thread running through all the chapters is the story of a couple who have decided to become entrepreneurs and who find solutions to their questions throughout the book, which provides answers to the following questions: How do I start a business if I don’t have money? Can I develop a business aligned with my purpose? and Who do I offer what I know how to do?

The text also answers questions for those who have already made progress with their business ideas, offering advice on promoting products and services, improving business performance, optimizing financial management, learning how to differentiate themselves from the competition, and keeping their venture afloat in challenging environments.

The final chapter of the manual, developed by Bancamiga’s Entrepreneurship and Special Plans Department, headed by Oskayda Alvarado, details the steps to follow to apply for financing and enable startups to grow.

The book was designed by Carolina Arnal and Waleska Belisario of ABV Taller de Diseño, who created a visually appealing and functional presentation.

Presentation of the manual for entrepreneurs

During the presentation and christening of the book, in addition to José Simón Elarba’s remarks, the keynote speeches were given by Maryury Bargiela, President of the National Entrepreneurship Fund; Luis Oliveros, who spoke on behalf of the experts and professionals participating in the project; and Milagro González, Director of Social Responsibility at Bancamiga.

Journalist Ana Virginia Escobar welcomed and provided support at the ceremony. Ariel José Martínez, CEO, and other Bancamiga executives, academic figures, special guests, journalists, and media outlets were present.
