Banreservas boosts entrepreneurship with the pre-acceleration stage of the Cree program
The Cree Banreservas program has taken a firm step in its 2026 edition by concluding its incubation phase, integrating the ventures Explore and ON-NOVA Biotech S.R.L. into its pre-acceleration process. These projects now join eight other initiatives that aspire to obtain an investment of up to RD$4.7 million, after validating the viability and sustainability of their business models before the evaluation committee.
During the preliminary stage, participants completed 200 hours of intensive training, focused on strengthening their value propositions and validating their products in the market, under international business standards.
There is a lot of talent for creating solutions, but every company encounters different obstacles when trying to develop. For this reason, the route has been reinforced to identify the real needs of each project and connect it with the methodology, knowledge, and tools it requires to grow, replicate, or scale responsibly.
