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.

    Pap Jazz 2025, a Celebration of Haiti’s Great Musical Richness

    On Sunday, April 6, 2025, the Karibe Convention Center in Juvenat transformed into a true cultural temple to close the 18th edition of the Port-au-Prince International Jazz Festival (PAPJAZZ). This year, the festival took place under the evocative theme "PAP JAZZ it UP", and it was held in three sites primarily located in the Pétion-Ville commune. The festival took place entirely at these wonderful musical venues: a reference was made to the Latin Quarter, the Haiti-Brazil Cultural Center, and the Karibe Hotel. Due to the deteriorating situation in downtown Port-au-Prince in recent times, the French Institute site had to be abandoned by the festival organizers. Nevertheless, we can absolutely call this 18th edition of Pap Jazz a success. Indeed, this festival, now a major event of the Haitian year, was especially marked this year by the great resilience and determination of the organizers who were able to adapt to the country’s rhythm in order to satisfy their loyal festival-goers. Despite the difficult context, these festival-goers did not miss the opportunity to escape their harsh daily lives through music. It’s also important to note that this 18th edition of Pap Jazz took place after two postponements, at the very beginning of this year, with the last one occurring in March due to insecurity. In this regard, it is appropriate to call the monumental achievement of the Haïti Jazz Foundation and their partners an exceptional feat, as they were not discouraged and showed remarkable tenacity, while adapting to offer Port-au-Prince and its surroundings this moment of growth, beyond the city’s great sorrow, through music.
