U.S. Commerce Secretary hails Endeavor for “creating opportunity” in Latin America.
President and Mrs. Bush hosted the White House Conference of the Americas last week, where U.S. Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez hailed Endeavor for “creating opportunity” in Latin America by supporting innovative and visionary high-impact entrepreneurs. The Secretary spoke to a gathering of over 250 non-governmental organizations, the private sector and volunteer groups focused on the southern hemisphere, where expanding economic opportunity was a key topic.
Endeavor has “hundreds of case studies of successful Latin American pioneers” Secretary Gutierrez said and he pointed to Uruguayan Endeavor Entrepreneur Francisco Gross‘ company, Seinco, as an example. Helping deliver drinkable water and wastewater management through affordable water treatment devices, Seinco as a “patented product is so affordable and efficient that the company has been hired to consult with companies in China,” said the Secretary.
Secretary Gutierrez also highlighted Endeavor Entrepreneur Carlos Marin, whose Mexican-based Alltournative, “is supporting thousands of impoverished Mayan Indians by helping them develop a sustainable tourism infrastructure. So far, over 200,000 tourists have visited the Alltournative-Mayan sites.”
