For more than three decades, AG&T has believed that successful economic development begins by bringing the right people together.

Throughout our history, we have worked closely with government agencies, economic development organizations, institutional investors, developers, hospitality companies, financial institutions, and industry associations to strengthen Puerto Rico’s relationships with the U.S. mainland and the international investment community.

One example of that commitment was the Caribbean & Latin America Investment Summit, organized in collaboration with the Puerto Rico Builders Association and the administration of Governor Ricardo Rosselló. The summit welcomed more than 200 investors, developers, family offices, institutional capital groups, and public-sector leaders to San Juan to explore Puerto Rico’s growing opportunities in hospitality, infrastructure, mixed-use development, manufacturing, and economic development.

The event attracted significant national and international attention while reinforcing Puerto Rico’s position as one of the Caribbean’s most compelling destinations for investment under the U.S. flag.

Building on that momentum, AG&T continued its efforts to connect Puerto Rico with institutional capital by partnering with Bisnow, one of the world’s leading commercial real estate media and event platforms, to organize the Caribbean Hospitality Investment Summit in Miami.

The objective was not simply to host another conference.

It was to create a meaningful dialogue between the public and private sectors, bringing together government officials, hotel brands, developers, lenders, institutional investors, and industry leaders to discuss the future of Caribbean hospitality and tourism.

The distinguished speaker lineup reflected the caliber of those conversations and included leaders from Hilton, Apple Leisure Group, Kimpton Hotels, Dream Hotel Group, the Inter-American Development Bank, Trust Hospitality, McConnell Valdés, Sion Capital, and the Puerto Rico Builders Association. Together, they examined topics including hospitality investment, resort development, tourism growth, resiliency, recovery strategies, and the evolving capital markets supporting Caribbean development.

These discussions helped reinforce a broader message that continues to guide AG&T today:

Puerto Rico’s future depends upon strong collaboration between the public and private sectors.

Government creates the policy framework. Private enterprise provides innovation, investment, and execution. Together, they create the conditions necessary for sustainable economic growth.

Over the years, AG&T has continued to cultivate trusted relationships with government leaders, tourism organizations, development agencies, hotel companies, institutional investors, and industry associations throughout Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. These relationships have enabled us to convene meaningful conversations, promote investment opportunities, and help connect regional projects with national and international sources of capital.

As Puerto Rico continues to experience renewed investment in hospitality, infrastructure, manufacturing, and mixed-use development, we remain committed to serving as a bridge between local opportunity and global capital.

That mission has guided AG&T since its founding and continues to define our role in helping shape the future of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.
