In an effort to strengthen the business fabric of eastern Venezuela, Bancamiga successfully held the forum “Tools to Boost and Boost Your Business.” The event brought together more than 800 entrepreneurs and representatives of small and medium-sized enterprises in Maturín.

José Simón Elarba, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bancamiga, welcomed the attendees, emphasizing the institution’s commitment to regional economic growth and its social commitment to Venezuelans.

 

He explained that the bank organizes these forums because, since 2019, the country has witnessed the resilience and ability of Venezuelans to overcome adversity. Despite the challenges, they have developed initiatives to move forward. “That’s where Bancamiga’s idea began: to connect the dreams, aspirations, ideas, and projects of entrepreneurs with experts who can help them grow,” he stated.
