Energy resilience, logistics, and private-sector equipment where licensing and counterparties permit.

What makes Cuba different

The demand signal is only one part of the answer. The binding constraints are often licensing, payment, logistics, and who controls the Cuban buyer.

Private-sector MIPYME demand is not the same as state-enterprise demand.
A legal product can still fail if the buyer or payment channel is blocked.
Cuban-side import rules and hard-currency scarcity can turn apparent demand into non-performance risk.
