Male Speaker:
We're here in Havana this
morning as part of Obama's
visit to the country to
spend some time with local
Cuban entrepreneurs to sort
of hear how we can make
Cuba a really successful
destination for
entrepreneurship.
Idania Del Rio:
Entrepreneurship in Cuba is
the future because it's one
of the most important ways
that we can use to
evolve our economy.
And our society.
Brian Chesky: Casa
Particular are home shares.
And these have been
going on for a generation.
There are at least 20,000
home shares in this country
of Cuba.
So this is something they've
been doing for a very long
time even out of necessity.
And so we just made it
much easier for them
with technology.
The President: Here today
we are talking about the
challenges you face as
entrepreneurs in Cuba.
And it's not easy.
In the United States we work
to help entrepreneurs and
small businesses get the
resources they need because
it can be a struggle to
get a new venture off
the ground.
Well, as your friend and
your partner, the United
States of America wants to
help you get that chance.
And we're so grateful
that we're off to this
outstanding start in
this event here today.
Muchos gracias!
