Where Puerto Ricans connect, take initiative, and thrive.
The Boricua Emprende Fest (BE Fest) is the hub of Puerto Rico’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. For seven years, it has been the largest business event in Puerto Rico, where ideas stop being “someday” and start becoming “let’s do it.”
Here, we talk business, share real insights, and create opportunities that transform careers.
Join us to see what happens when Puerto Ricans take the plunge.

We were born out of Puerto Rican perseverance and talent
In the wake of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, Puerto Rico needed more than just physical reconstruction: it needed hope and opportunities. `In 2018, a delegation organized by ConPRmetidos traveled to New Orleans to learn how entrepreneurship drove recovery after Katrina, drawing inspiration from New Orleans Entrepreneurship Week.
That experience gave rise to the Boricua Emprende Fest—not just another event, but a movement where challenges are turned into strategies.
