The Pre-Feasibility Study for the Establishment of an Innovation Hub in the Dominican Republic was carried out as part of the broader Punta Bergantín development initiative. Located in Puerto Plata, the proposed Innovation Hub aims to serve as a regional engine for entrepreneurship, research, development, and innovation in the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean.

The study outlined a strategic plan to position the country as a competitive innovation destination. It proposed a hybrid model combining physical infrastructure and virtual platforms to support collaboration, technology transfer, and investment attraction.
