President Irfaan Ali has emphasized the pivotal role of the upcoming 2024 Guyana Energy Conference and Supply Chain Exposition in driving further investment across various sectors of the local economy.
In a recent appearance on the Energy Perspectives Podcast, the Head of State discussed the significance of this annual event and its potential impact on Guyana’s development trajectory.
Scheduled to attract participation from over twenty countries, the conference aims to open doors for investments that will bolster Guyana’s standing as a global leader in food, climate, and energy security.
President Ali underscored the government’s strategic vision to position Guyana as an attractive destination for investors, highlighting the vast opportunities available in key sectors.
One notable focus of this year’s conference is agriculture, with President Ali expressing optimism about seizing a significant share of the lucrative aquaculture market in the United States, valued at $4 billion.
The event is poised to provide a platform for local, regional, and international investors to forge meaningful connections and explore potential collaborations that could drive transformative change in the country.
Moreover, President Ali emphasized that the conference will showcase a wide array of opportunities spanning agriculture, research and innovation, food production, manufacturing, and more.
By bringing together stakeholders from diverse sectors, the event aims to foster dialogue, facilitate knowledge exchange, and catalyze investment initiatives that align with Guyana’s development goals.
Reflecting on the success of previous energy conferences, President Ali highlighted their role in raising awareness about the energy sector and creating opportunities for business partnerships and consortiums.
These conferences have not only bolstered the profile of the oil and gas industry but have also established Guyana as a premier investment destination in the region.
The Guyana Energy Conference and Supply Chain Expo, slated for February 19–22 at the Marriott Hotel, will operate under the theme “Fuelling Transformation and Modernization.”
With its comprehensive agenda and diverse participation, the event is poised to fuel Guyana’s economic growth and pave the way for sustainable development initiatives.
As Guyana continues its journey toward prosperity and progress, initiatives like the Energy Conference & Expo serve as catalysts for investment, innovation, and inclusive development, positioning the nation for a brighter and more resilient future.
