One of the reasons the economy of Puerto Rico is in such a horrible state is because the I&E mindset is not integrated into it. In a more macro perspective, the economy has also changed and the education system has not adapted to the economy that is constantly changing and having turns, thus meaning that were educating and graduating people that are unprepared for the new economy that they will face when they go out to the professional camp in a future. Also, another big challenge the I&E ecosystem is facing is the massification of opportunities on the island. The ecosystem is in a state that is already built, but people need to use it. Additionally, the island must find a way to make it easier for people who are interested in being part of the I&E ecosystem in the island to have access to money. Right now, the process to obtain money for a person's I&E ventures in Puerto Rico is very long, tedious, and hard.
Presently the most active region in the I&E ecosystem in Puerto Rico is the capital city called San Juan. Inside this city, there are many I&E initiatives, projects and companies such as Parallel18, Piloto151, Puerto Rico Science, Technology, and Research Trust and much more. Each one of these plays an important role in the current blooming of the I&E ecosystem in Puerto Rico, but the problem with these is that there are mostly in the San Juan city region and cannot meet the huge demand Puerto Rico has for more projects, companies, and initiatives like these.
