Students, particularly those from local universities and vocational schools, were prominently present at this year's summit. Hundreds attended this annual gathering, taking full advantage of the opportunity to learn and engage with various speakers.

Mardoché Merisemé, a student at the Faculty of Law and Economic Sciences in Port-au-Prince, did not miss the chance to participate in the discussions during these first two days. “I’m proud to be part of this summit, and I’ve learned a lot,” he stated. Clearly and straightforwardly, he explained that thanks to the presentations he attended, he could identify the reasons behind the country’s current challenges and possible solutions. “I believe we must act quickly to create the conditions necessary to attract direct investments from the diaspora (IDD) alongside the unreciprocated transfers. The figures are clear: transfers from the diaspora represent only a tiny fraction of their savings, so we can start acting now to attract IDD,” he advised.
