Hispanic business groups from New York City are welcoming Colombian business and advocacy groups that will meet with elected officials and trade groups.
To promote economic empowerment in south America while helping to mitigate the recent unexpected migration crisis in the City of New York.
Frank Garcia, former Chairman of the National Association of State Chambers and founder of the Hispanic Buying Groups, says:
“We can help decrease the new undocumented immigration issue that New York is facing by creating business opportunities for these disadvantaged businesses in countries in the Caribbean, Central, and South America.”
Mr. Garcia adds, “Our Hispanic and minority business partners visited Colombia several times last year to identify and develop business opportunities in economic and socially distressed populations.
Now Colombian representatives are coming to New York to learn about our vibrant Hispanic business community and to meet with New York elected and government officials.
We will create win-win trade and economic development opportunities for the City of New York, our minority-owned business, and emerging entrepreneurs from difficult areas in Latin America.”
To welcome the Colombian delegation, the New York State Coalition of Hispanic Chambers held a press conference at Resolution 39 | Best Rooftop Bar & Restaurant in Midtown NYC Restaurant in the Manhattan.
“Our Coalition and representatives from the most important NYC trade groups will welcome the National Association of Mayors, a Colombian group of Mayors and partners of all Colombia’s Business men and women, that promote economic development from women displaced by conflict and war,” says Frank Garcia, current Chairman of the New York State Coalition of Hispanic Chambers.
It is a vision of several Hispanic business leaders to create a bridge of trade between Colombia and the United States to give opportunities to minority-owned businesses in the United States while at the same time creating economic development opportunities in Latin America.
Thus potentially mitigating recently migration patterns in New York City. The Hispanic Buying Group and recent new trade group will spread head this effort and is seeking to create an international distribution center in the Bronx NY, that will also host an incubator and accelerator program for minority-owned startup companies looking to serve the international trade to and from Latino America.
Welcoming the Colombian group are Mayor Eric Adams, Terence Clark, President and CEO, New York and New Jersey Minority Supplier Development Council, Lisa M. Flores, Chief City Procurement Officer and Director of the Mayor’s Office of Contract Services, Michael J. Garner, city’s first ever chief business diversity officer.
