Impulsando la participación hispana en grandes proyectos de construcción
El pasado miércoles 19 de marzo, la Cámara de Comercio Hispana de Delaware tuvo el privilegio de participar en el evento Minority Supplier Diversity, una iniciativa organizada por Drexel University y desarrollada en el hotel Christiana Hilton, en Newark, Delaware. Esta jornada, orientada a promover la inclusión de negocios diversos en el sector de la construcción, ofreció información clave sobre oportunidades valoradas en más de $3.5 mil millones proyectadas para los próximos once años.
Nuestro equipo asistió al evento en representación de la Cámara, reafirmando nuestro compromiso con abrir puertas reales de crecimiento para los empresarios hispanos del estado. En esta ocasión, tuvimos además la satisfacción de acompañar a dos de nuestros miembros: ROONY RESTORATION y PAPRO CONSTRUCTION, dueños de pequeñas empresas que representan el talento, el esfuerzo y el potencial de nuestra comunidad.
Durante el encuentro, los asistentes tuvieron la oportunidad de conocer de primera mano los planes de desarrollo de Drexel University, así como los procesos y requisitos necesarios para participar como proveedores en sus futuros proyectos de infraestructura. Fue también una excelente plataforma de conexión con líderes de la industria, representantes de contratistas generales y responsables de compras institucionales.
Agradecemos sinceramente a la Delaware Black Chamber of Commerce por su invitación y por extender esta valiosa oportunidad a nuestras empresas. Colaboraciones como esta reflejan el poder de las alianzas entre comunidades diversas cuando se trabaja con un objetivo común: el crecimiento inclusivo.
Para la Cámara, espacios como este son fundamentales. No solo brindan visibilidad a nuestras empresas, sino que permiten establecer relaciones estratégicas que pueden traducirse en contratos, crecimiento y empleos. Nuestra participación activa en estas mesas de diálogo fortalece la presencia de la comunidad hispana en sectores tradicionalmente inaccesibles, como el de la construcción a gran escala.
Seguiremos trabajando para que cada empresario hispano en Delaware tenga acceso a las herramientas, la información y las conexiones que le permitan competir y prosperar.
Promoting Hispanic Participation in Major Construction Projects
On Wednesday, March 19, the Delaware Hispanic Chamber of Commerce had the privilege of attending the Minority Supplier Diversity event, an initiative organized by Drexel University and held at the Christiana Hilton in Newark, Delaware. This event, focused on promoting the inclusion of diverse businesses in the construction sector, offered valuable insights into more than $3.5 billion in projected opportunities over the next eleven years.
Our team attended on behalf of the Chamber, reaffirming our commitment to opening real pathways for growth among Hispanic entrepreneurs across the state. On this occasion, we were also proud to accompany two of our member businesses: [Business Name 1] and [Business Name 2], small business owners who exemplify the talent, resilience, and potential of our community.
Throughout the event, participants had the opportunity to learn firsthand about Drexel University’s upcoming development plans, as well as the processes and requirements needed to participate as vendors in their future infrastructure projects. It also served as a valuable networking platform, connecting attendees with industry leaders, general contractors, and institutional procurement officers.
We extend our sincere thanks to the Delaware Black Chamber of Commerce for the invitation and for making this valuable opportunity accessible to our members. Collaborations like this reflect the strength of diverse communities coming together with a shared goal: inclusive growth.
For our Chamber, participating in spaces like this is essential. They not only give visibility to our businesses but also foster strategic relationships that can lead to contracts, growth, and employment. Our continued involvement in these conversations strengthens the Hispanic community’s presence in sectors that have historically been difficult to access—such as large-scale construction.
We remain committed to ensuring that every Hispanic entrepreneur in Delaware has access to the tools, knowledge, and connections needed to compete and thrive.
