What CELAC INTERNATIONAL TRADING ,PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND CONSULTING CORP. does

CELAC International Trading, Project Management and Consulting Corp. is a Canadian-incorporated private corporation founded on November 5, 2013, registered in Scarborough, Canada, and self-described as the first commercial entity representing the economic interests of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), a 32-33 member intergovernmental bloc covering approximately 650 million people. The company organizes trade missions and exhibitions, and has publicly stated plans to operate a network of external trade offices in 20+ international cities (Istanbul, New York, Miami, Moscow, Beijing, Tokyo, Toronto, Montreal, Seoul, Cairo, Berlin, Rome, etc.) to connect CELAC member-state companies with foreign markets and investors. Documented headquarters locations are stated as Havana, Cuba and Caracas, Venezuela.

Its core product surface spans CELAC International Trading (trade missions, exhibitions, FDI facilitation), MISION CELAC (immigrant settlement services, registered with UN DESA since February 2013), Doctors for Humanity International / D.H.I. (Cuban-style preventive medicine, incorporated 2014), Welcome Centers at airports and city centers, Foreign Trade Offices, Vision CELAC 2030 strategic development projects, medical-treatment facilitation through Servicios Medicos Cubanos and ELAM, and educational placement into CELAC universities with internship guarantees. The underlying "technology" is described as a trade facilitation platform connecting CELAC member-state companies with international markets via external trade centers and CELAC foreign trade offices, with no proprietary software, AI/ML components, APIs, or integrations disclosed.

The business model combines professional services for trade missions and exhibitions with FDI facilitation fees; however, pricing is not publicly disclosed and several flagship offerings (immigrant support, settlement assistance, education) are explicitly provided free of charge. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors with multiple Joint Presidents (Dr. Sohaib Haider, Orlando Sotolongo Santana, Luca Galea Scannura, Zeinab Kaalaf, Juana Sossa/Jerena, Necdet Hincal) and Vice Presidents, and operates in coordination with CELAC member-state diplomatic missions rather than as a venture-backed or publicly traded enterprise.
