Erick Brimen, Prospera | This CEO wants to co-create the conditions for prosperity for a developing country

Erick Brimen, CEO of Prospera, has always been curious about why some societies prosper more than others. He’s spent time in Venezuela, Europe and the US and thought carefully about what works all over the world. The result is Prospera, a platform for reconceiving some elements of government as a service, and creating public-private partnerships so as to create the essential conditions for prosperity. 

Prospera is launching its first Economic Development Hub on the island of Roatan, in Honduras.  This semi-autonomous zone is fully backed by the Honduran government and world-leading partners like Ernst & Young, Zaha Hadid Architects and Hospital Cemesa. Top-notch legal advisors are in place to ensure the peaceful and speedy resolution of disputes. All of this is attracting new businesses, real estate investors and other capital to Honduras. This ambitious project will be worth following for anyone interested in human development.
