From packed chessboards at the Infinita Dome to Próspera stepping onto the global stage in Panama, June brought people, ideas, and new experiences together, closing the first half of 2026 on a high note.

01 — Events & Community

The Próspera Chess Cup: A Board for Every Generation

Players and families from across Honduras and the region came together at the Infinita Dome for the first Próspera Chess Cup.

Participants traveled from San Pedro Sula, Intibucá, Copán, and beyond to compete in categories ranging from Under 14 to aspiring masters. Held under FIDE regulations, the tournament followed an 11-round Swiss system with a 3+2 time control.

From unrated players to national champions, the event brought together different generations through a shared love of chess.

More than a tournament, it became a gathering of families, educators, community members, and players committed to helping the sport grow.

Congratulations to every winner and participant. We hope this experience inspires many more to keep learning, competing, and enjoying the game.

The White Affair: A Roatán Night to Remember

02 — Government Affairs

Próspera at the III Ibero-American Tourism Forum

As a sponsor of the III Ibero-American Tourism Forum, Próspera joined business leaders, public-sector representatives, international organizations, and experts from across Ibero-America to discuss the future of tourism, technology, and territorial development.

Held in San Pedro Sula under the theme Technology and Development: Intelligence That Empowers Territories, the forum opened space for conversations on innovation, sustainability, investment, competitiveness, and the role of technology in building stronger destinations.

We're proud to take part in conversations that introduce new ideas, strengthen regional partnerships, and contribute to a more dynamic environment for investment, innovation, and economic growth in Honduras and across the region.

03 — On the Global Stage

Próspera at the 12th World FZO Annual Congress

Próspera took part in the 12th World FZO Annual Congress in Panama City, one of the world's leading gatherings for special economic zones, policymakers, investors, and global business leaders.

The Próspera delegation was led by Founder and CEO Erick A. Brimen, alongside Omar Ynzenga, Founder of Instituto Istmo 2050, Jorge Colindres, Technical Secretary-General of Próspera ZEDE, and Gabriel Delgado, Próspera board member.

The delegation attended the official opening alongside José Raúl Mulino, President of Panama; Luis Abinader, President of the Dominican Republic; Julio Moltó, Panama's Minister of Commerce and Industries; Mohammed Al Zarooni, Chairman of the World Free Zones Organization; and other international leaders.

The central conversation reflected a principle Próspera has spent years putting into practice: the next era of global competition will not be won through incentives alone, but through guarantees.

Reliable legal frameworks. Enforceable contracts. Rules designed to outlast political cycles.

These are the conditions that allow capital and talent to stay long enough to create lasting value, and they are increasingly becoming the real foundation of global competitiveness.

Until the next edition. 🌸💗
