LARGO, MD -Prince George’s County Economic Development Corporation (PGCEDC) announces the launch of the 2023 season of Creando Exitos or "Creating Success" on April 13th, 2023. Now entering its fifth season of production, the Spanish language Creando Exitos is an informational program for the Latino Business Community designed to promote the services offered by PGCEDC and highlight other business resources available in Prince George's County to support and grow their companies.
"We are excited to return with a new season of Creando Exitos to our emerging Latino business community of Prince George's County," said David Iannucci, President & CEO of Prince George's County Economic Development Corporation. "The program provides a platform for Latino businesses to learn more about the County's Economic Development Incentive Fund, FSC First, Department of Permitting, Inspection and Enforcement (DPIE), banking services, and other programs to help them create success and showcase why Expansion Starts Here."
Nearly 20 percent of Prince George’s population is Hispanic, and the county has the second-largest number of Hispanic-owned businesses in Maryland, according to U.S. Census data.
"We are excited to bring a new season of Creando Exitos where we interview successful Latino entrepreneurs who have found opportunity and create a business right here in Prince George's County," said host Rocio Treminio-Lopez, Latino Business Liaison of PGCEDC.
The program will air weekly on Thursdays on the PGCEDC YouTube channel with topics for the Spanish language community that include:

The first episode will feature Karla Bermudez, Assistant Vice President of M&T Bank. Bermudez along with Rocio Treminio-Lopez manage the Latino Business Accelerator Program.

Sessions will be led by representatives of M&T and PGCEDC and held entirely in Spanish – the first such program M&T has offered in a language other than English.
