About this opportunity

1. Project ObjectivesThe Embassy in Santo Domingo seeks to increase Dominican engagement with -linked opportunities in emerging industries at a time when fields such as semiconductors, artificial digital innovation are reshaping the global economy and workforce. The Dominican Republic has a growing ecosystem of innovation-focused institutions interested in STEM and technology-related sectors. However, many young Dominicans and emerging professionals have limited direct exposure to companies, innovation ecosystems, entrepreneurial models, and private-sector leaders that can help them access international opportunities and envision future collaboration with partners.This program seeks to address these challenges by creating a high-visibility public event that connects Dominican audiences with technology leaders through interactive and practical experiences. The Tech and Science Innovation Fair will showcase leadership in technology and innovation while creating opportunities for exposure to -linked educational and professional pathways. Activities may include corporate booths and demonstrations, panels on leadership in technology and semiconductors, entrepreneur and alumni storytelling sessions, networking opportunities, innovation showcases, and outreach related to exchange and professional development opportunities connected to the United States.The Embassy in Santo Domingo has previously supported programming related to entrepreneurship, workforce education internationalization, exchange programs, and technology-focused outreach initiatives. Previous efforts have demonstrated that public-facing events that combine hands-on engagement, networking direct interaction with experts and private-sector representatives are highly effective in increasing participant interest in -linked opportunities. Events that provide practical demonstrations, interactive exhibits, and opportunities for direct engagement consistently generate stronger audience participation and media visibility than traditional conference-style programming. Lessons learned from previous initiatives indicate that programming focused primarily on lectures or passive participation produces lower long-term engagement and fewer follow-on opportunities for participants.The Embassy seeks proposals capable of implementing a large-scale, high-quality event that attracts broad public participation and generates measurable engagement with companies, innovation ecosystems, and exchange opportunities. Competitive proposals should demonstrate strong event management capacity, private-sector engagement experience, branding and communications expertise, and the ability to coordinate effectively with Embassy staff, private-sector stakeholders, and local partners.Success will be measured through participant engagement, attendance numbers, media visibility, increased awareness of technology and innovation leadership, growth in exchange and professional opportunity inquiries, strengthened connections between Dominican and innovation ecosystems, and sustained follow-on engagement beyond the event itself.Project Audience(s): 1. Dominican University Students and Young Professionals: Undergraduate and graduate students, coding bootcamp participants, STEM users, and early-career professionals interested in emerging industries.2. Entrepreneurs and Innovation Ecosystem Leaders: Startup founders, innovation hub participants, incubators and accelerators, small business owners, technology entrepreneurs, and individuals interested in entrepreneurship, digital innovation, and private-sector collaboration opportunities with companies and institutions.3. Private-Sector and Industry Representatives: Dominican companies, chambers of commerce, technology associations, and representatives from industries related to transformation, and innovation seeking networking and collaboration opportunities with companies and experts.4.
