Ricardo González: Working in Próspera & History of ZEDEs

“So my revenue is dependent on your success and your success depends on my regulation. So I want to make sure that I have the best regulation and the best regulatory environment possible for your business to be successful.”

Ricardo González is an executive member at Honduras Próspera on the island of Roatán in Honduras.

He is an experienced Honduran attorney with a background in business development, start-up incorporation, counselling to mid to small-sized organizations, operation management and mentorship. He got his Masters in Law (LLM) at Penn State University with a concentration in Corporate Law and Practice.

This episode was recorded in Próspera in Honduras.  Próspera is the innovative Free Cities project based on the Honduran ZEDE law (Zone for Employment and Economic Development) and it has its own civil law and regulatory structure, independent of that of Honduras.

This conversation is a deep dive into everything Próspera, including its history and the history of the ZEDE laws.  Ricardo is thorough in his descriptions of what it’s like to live and work in a ZEDE as well as speaking candidly about his experiences dealing with the Honduran government during his time working on ZEDEs.
