Doing Business in Venezuela Webinar Series

The business environment in Venezuela is rapidly evolving, creating new opportunities for U.S. firms willing to navigate this unique market. The reestablishment of diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Venezuela and the recent issuance of a series of new general licenses by the Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) are creating new possibilities for U.S. commercial engagement. U.S. firms interested in Venezuela should be aware of both the opportunities and challenges presented by the market. While the operating environment requires careful navigation of sanctions and export controls, many forms of commercial engagement remain permissible.

This webinar series will help U.S. firms better understand emerging business opportunities in Venezuela across several critical sectors, which may include: oil and gas, electrical equipment, information and communication technologies (ICT), healthcare, and mining. The series will include a session dedicated to understanding how to comply with U.S. sanctions and export controls, including recent changes and issuance of new general licenses. The series also includes a session dedicated to strategies for navigating the risks and challenges present in the Venezuelan market, including securing payment and financial system considerations. Attendees will hear from U.S. diplomats, U.S. and Venezuelan government officials, and private sector experts to help them better assess market opportunities and craft a market entry strategy. U.S. exports to Venezuela totaled $3 billion in 2025 with sanctions in place. As additional general licenses are issued, export opportunities are expected to grow significantly.
