Aruba – Impact Hub Aruba has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the One Caribbean Business Network (OCBN) to establish a strategic collaboration that expands regional connections and opportunities for local entrepreneurs. This partnership aims to strengthen Aruba’s presence in the growing Caribbean market while providing Caribbean entrepreneurs access to guidance and entry into Aruba’s business ecosystem.
The alliance opens new doors for business connectivity between Aruba and the region. Impact Hub Aruba and OCBN will work together to facilitate knowledge exchange, provide visibility for new ventures, offer access to regional events and platforms, and promote business opportunities in a broader market.
According to Mary Ann Falconi-Rasmijn, Co-Founder and General Manager of Impact Hub Aruba:
“This collaboration is a natural step in our growth strategy. In 2025, we began creating opportunities for our entrepreneurs to enter local markets. In 2026, we expand to the Caribbean market, connecting local talent with regional and international opportunities. The alliance with OCBN paves a new path for our entrepreneurs.”
Giandra de Cuba, Aruba Liaison of OCBN, added:
“This partnership strengthens OCBN’s mission to unite the Caribbean through business and expand opportunities for our members and professional network. We are excited to work together in 2026.”
The collaboration will support economic growth in the Caribbean by enabling direct connectivity between Aruban entrepreneurs and regional companies and institutions, participation in events, trade missions, learning programs, market trend knowledge sharing, and promotion of collaboration across the creative, cultural, technological, and commercial sectors.
Impact Hub Aruba views the partnership as complementary to its startup programs, including the O STAD Incubator and other capacity-building initiatives, creating a space for a new generation of founders aiming to operate in a wider market. Detailed initiatives and opportunities from the collaboration will be announced at the start of 2026.
