During the 2004 Hispanic Business CEO Roundtable, held the morning of the annual EOY Gala, top finalists and leading financial experts discussed how carving new informational networks, attitudes, and strategies will be vital for continuing to propel wealth creation in the Hispanic enterprise economy. Key topics included a lack of adequate information, professional and social networks, and models of development to make capital readily available to innovative Hispanic companies, and a newly emerging generation of entrepreneurial trend-setters.
