What is Coach pa Futuro?

Coach pa Futuro (CPF) is a strategic program designed to lower the Cost of Doing Business (CODB) on Curaçao.

Local SMEs lose an estimated 30% of their operations to waste: time, energy, materials and money that never turn into value. CPF tackles that waste with structural improvements in Digitalization and Sustainability.

Launched by the Ministry of Economic Development (MEO) as part of the BIZ2BIZ program, together with Mi Negoshi and supported by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, CPF connects a select group of certified local experts with SMEs to drive innovation.

A Coach pa Futuro is a mix of three roles: a coach focused on change, a consultant with strategic solutions and a trainer who builds skills.

Your dedicated business advisor 🧠

As your Coach pa Futuro, I first look at how your business really runs today. Then we roll up our sleeves and fix what slows you down: AI automation, digital marketing and circular economy practices that eliminate waste, reduce overhead and make your business future proof.

🌱 Sustainability: making efficiency accessible

Sustainability is simply the art of using your resources (energy, water and materials) without wasting them.

Together we move your business from a waste heavy model to a circular approach that lowers your Cost of Doing Business.

  • Education and awareness for your team and customers
  • Collaboration across sectors and joint projects
  • Measuring and sharing impact with transparency
  • Inspiration from local success stories

⚡️ Digitalization: work smarter, not harder

Productivity is a measure of how efficiently you use your resources to deliver goods or services.

I equip you with the right digital tools to increase efficiency, lower costs and stay competitive. No tech overload, just the basics that work well for SME entrepreneurs.

Skohe i kombiná: pick and mix the tools that fit your business from the SME Productivity Suite.
