This prestigious recognition highlights the company's impact on the community and the local business fabric by facilitating the development of innovative products for inventors, entrepreneurs, and established companies in Miami.

The company, of Spanish origin and with over a decade of history, has manufactured more than 300 prototypes since its inception. Its co-founder, the Cuban Erick Remedios, was present at the ceremony and expressed his gratitude to the local authorities and the business community of Miami for the trust placed in Let’s Prototype since its arrival in the city.

"I am honored to receive this award, which I share and dedicate to the engineers on my team and to the generations of Cubans who develop technology in silence, spread across the world," declared Remedios.

For his part, Iván Bedia, CEO of Let’s Prototype, highlighted the significance of the recognition: “It is an honor to share a symbol that was once awarded to the current King and Queen of Spain.”

The ceremony, held at the Intercontinental Miami Hotel, brought together more than 150 entrepreneurs and representatives from local institutions, who highlighted the contributions of the companies awarded by the Beacon Council.

Let’s Prototype has developed technological solutions applied in emblematic spaces such as churches in the Vatican and operating rooms in Europe, as well as innovative products marketed on platforms like Amazon. Their mission is clear: to support entrepreneurs and inventors in Miami in the local manufacturing of their ideas and technological products, removing barriers in the creative process.
