we should host a trade fair and hang out the "Open for Business" and "Under New Management" signs in our Cuban embassy. Back it up with grant money, tax incentives (NOT tax cuts), startup workshops, expert mentoring programs, business/government partnerships, subsidize NGO and nonprofits groups to build basic background infrastructure projects that support business growth while still allowing the social services the Cuban people expect.

If we invite every sort of business, venture capitalists, bankers, lobbying groups interested developing trade with Cuba to bring lots of cash and come on down to Havana and make a deal, it would bring about positive changes that can't be undone.
