Abstract: Abstract Suriname is a multicultural Caribbean country with a very long historical background. As a factor-driven economy, Suriname relies on its agricultural and natural resources. Nevertheless, entrepreneurs have played a significant role in their economy. Surprisingly, immigrant entrepreneurs from other countries or Surinamese entrepreneurs who have acted as the socio-economic change agents for many years have rarely studied in academic research. Therefore, this chapter provides a better understanding of the country, its historical background, and the environment for entrepreneurship. As shown in this chapter, the entrepreneurship ecosystem is not developed well, but there are many possibilities to explore, evaluate, and exploit entrepreneurial opportunities to create value. Although limited information exists about Surinamese entrepreneurs, the authors introduce a female Surinamese entrepreneur, and finally, the chapter concludes with some future directions and some concluding remarks.
