As an entrepreneur and innovator in Panama, it is critical to network and keep your contacts list up to date. Networking has always been one of the best ways to increase exposure to potential clients and other innovators in Panama. Attending networking events and conferences is the best way to connect with Panama’s innovators. Many of these events have limited spaces available, so you can be sure that someone else will be happy to take that spot and gain those contacts in your stead if you’re not there.
Grow Your Network
The most challenging time to build a business network is at the start. As your network grows, you meet more people. The people you meet continue to introduce you to others; before you know it, you have a robust network of business contacts. But making those initial contacts can take a lot of work, especially if you’re new to Panama and are just finding your way around. That cannot be an excuse, however. A lack of contacts means you’re missing out on potential opportunities to meet other innovators in Panama.
Here are three ways to expand your business network and connect with other innovators in Panama.
Eventbrite
Panama’s expat population grows daily, and many expats are entrepreneurs and innovators searching for people with whom they can connect. Checking the Eventbrite website will give you an extensive list of networking events, webinars, seminars, and forums involving various business disciplines. You should be able to find events here that suit your needs.
Panama Business Club
Offering corporate and individual memberships, the Panama Business Club is a great way to start building your business network. The Club provides the following:
- Qualified Networking: The chance to connect with others in the business community in a professional but relaxed atmosphere during monthly events.
- Reputable Introductions: Meet trustworthy experts from businesses and industries who can help build your contacts list.
- Expert Insights: Attend events and learn about the best practices of doing business in Panama.
The Panama Business Club provides a conduit for you to connect with innovators in your field who can help you launch your Panama business experience.
