ORANJESTAD - On February 27, 2025, in a packed hall, the first workshop of the free ones organized by the Department of Economic Affairs, Industry, and Trade through its unit IDEA took off.
This workshop is for all who wish to start or grow in their entrepreneurial path.
Masterclass Entrepreneurship's program consists of 4 phases, and each phase of four to six workshops.
These phases include:
- how to plan your business.
- launch your business in the market.

The first workshop of the first phase began with market research and competitive analysis. These workshops are under the guidance of Mr. Edward Erasmus of Erasmus Consulting & Training.
