Made in Haïti in the spotlight at the “El Rancho” convention center

On Saturday, July 13, 2024, the El Rancho Convention Center hosted the Made in Haïti Expo (MIH Expo), a major event aimed at promoting Haitian know-how and local industries. Organized in partnership with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the Association of Industries in Haïti (ADIH) and various other companies, this exhibition highlighted the richness and diversity of Haitian products.

Presence of political figures

The MIH Expo attracted the attention of many political figures, including Prime Minister Garry Conille, demonstrating the importance given to the country’s industrial development. His presence underlined government support for initiatives aimed at strengthening the local economy and promoting Haitian talents. This event was a strategic platform to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing local industries, while highlighting public policies favorable to innovation and growth.

Among the many companies present, “Kaûna” particularly attracted attention. Founded by the young and dynamic Naphtana Philippe, this company specializes in cocoa processing, offering high quality products that reflect the excellence of Haitian know-how. Kaûna’s participation in the MIH Expo demonstrates the vitality and innovation of Haitian entrepreneurs, ready to conquer local and international markets. Visitors were able to taste and purchase various products, thus discovering the passion and craftsmanship that drive Haitian producers.

Product diversity and networking opportunities

The MIH Expo allowed visitors to discover a variety of local products, ranging from crafts to agri-food, including textiles and technologies. This event not only provided a promotional platform for Haitian businesses, but also created opportunities for networking and strategic partnerships, essential for the growth and expansion of local industries. Exhibitors were able to exchange ideas, establish business contacts and explore new markets, thus strengthening the economic fabric of the country.

The first edition of the MIH Expo was a great success, illustrating the potential and resilience of the Haitian economy. Through initiatives like this, Haïti continues to show the world the richness of its heritage and the ingenuity of its entrepreneurs. Collaborations between government, industry associations and private companies are crucial to propel the country towards a more prosperous and sustainable future.

A celebration of Haitian excellence

The MIH Expo is a celebration of Haitian excellence, a showcase of innovation and local know-how, and an engine of economic development. The combined efforts of the various actors involved promise to make Made in Haïti shine on the international scene. This event, through its scale and impact, marks a decisive step towards the promotion of Haitian products and the recognition of their quality and originality. Participants leave with a renewed vision and shared pride, ready to contribute to the growth of local industries and the creation of sustainable jobs in the country.

    Launch of the Engagement Award: An Initiative to Honor and Encourage Young Leaders in Haiti

    August 29, 2025, will mark two exceptional events: the eighth anniversary of Pierre Marc BAPTISTE’s commitment as a young leader and social and political activist, and the official launch of the Engagement Award. This unique initiative aims to honor and encourage young leaders, professionals, and academics for their dedication and active involvement in community life. The Engagement Award’s mission is to recognize youth leadership, promote civic engagement, and highlight inspiring role models capable of positively influencing an entire generation. Through this award, Pierre Marc BAPTISTE hopes to encourage young people to get involved in concrete actions aimed at solving community problems, reducing social inequalities, and strengthening civic participation. The first edition will be particularly symbolic. Eight young leaders from the Cité Soleil plain will be honored for the social and community impact of their initiatives. In a concrete gesture of solidarity and knowledge sharing, 200 books will also be donated to the Duvivier High School library in Cité Soleil, contributing to the education and training of future generations. With this award, Pierre Marc BAPTISTE reaffirms his belief that youth engagement is an essential lever for social and political change in Haiti. This is a unique opportunity to celebrate those who are taking action to transform their community, while inspiring other young people to follow the path of action and leadership. On August 29, 2025, Haitian youth will be honored, and a new tradition of recognition and inspiration will be established to promote civic engagement and responsibility throughout the country.
