Nicaraguan digital and entrepreneurial development

Overview

Nicaragua is implementing various initiatives to promote entrepreneurship and digital development. In early September, the ninth edition of ‘Nicaragua Emprende’ was organized to support over 135 small and medium-sized businesses from across the country. The event focused on the theme ‘Impulsing your business toward the digital future,’ providing participants with access to mentors to strengthen commercial connections.

Following these efforts, the country has expanded its focus toward technical and digital education. The Ministry of Education hosted the ‘JovenTech’ Festival to showcase student-led technological solutions, while robotics competitions were held to select teams for the 2026 World Robotics Olympiad. Additionally, specialized training programs in automation, programming, and the Internet of Things have been launched through INATEC and Taller Luban Nicaragua, supported by cooperation with China, to prepare a workforce for Industry 4.0.
