Proyecto Cuba Emprende (PCE) is a project of the Catholic Church of Cuba. Its mission is to offer training and advisory services to Cuban entrepreneurs who wish to start or improve a small business in order to contribute to the development of an entrepreneurial culture, social progress and to improve the quality of their lives.

PCE replicates the extremely successful model developed over decades by Mexican non-for-profit organization Fundación ProEmpleo. PCE operates from of the Centro Cultural Padre Felix Varela in Havana, from the Archdiocese of Camagüey and from the Archdiocese of Cienfuegos. The program provides current and aspiring entrepreneurs with eighty hours of classroom instruction in the areas of human development, marketing & management, finance & accounting, and sales & customer service.

Graduates of the 80 workshop are offered continuing advisory services if they complete an approved business plan, either to launch a new, viable business or to accelerate an existing business through the project's Incubator or Center for Business Development programs, respectively. By yearend 2016, PCE will have graduated approximately 3,000 entrepreneurs and supported the launch or acceleration of over 1,500 businesses.

The project does not offer any funding or investment to students or graduates.
