Recommendation

Journalist Matt Schiavenza offers advice to companies looking for ways to get a foothold in Cuba’s emerging domestic market. Businesses face layers of bureaucratic red tape, censorship concerns and meager paychecks. However, the island nation boasts a highly educated workforce that is already proving valuable in the medical and IT fields. For pharmaceutical companies, Cuba could emerge a prime research spot, while tech companies have a large workforce already in place. getAbstract recommends this analysis to business leaders interested in the Cuba’s unique market.

Take-Aways

  • Companies take heed: Cuba is “not the average frontier market.”
  • Cuba’s surplus of doctors makes it a possible medical tourism destination and an ideal location for pharmaceutical companies to perform medical research.
  • The US consulting company Nearshore Americas estimates that between 25,000 and 100,000 Cubans are skilled in software development, networks and testing.
