The third edition of the Caribbean Investment Forum will take place in Guyana from July 10 to 12 at the Arthur Chung Convention Centre.
Leo Naut, Deputy Executive Director and Officer in Charge at the Caribbean Export Development Agency, highlighted Guyana as an exceptional choice to host this year’s forum due to its robust support for regional integration.
Naut emphasized that Guyana is a dynamic and attractive destination for investors looking for opportunities beyond the oil and gas sector, mentioning agriculture and infrastructure as key areas.
He attributed this attractiveness to the supportive efforts of the Guyanese government in promoting economic diversification and sustainable development, fostering a favorable investment climate.
This year’s forum aims to drive sustainable economic development and enhance investment visibility in the Caribbean.
Key discussions will revolve around sustainable agriculture, the digitalization of business operations, and the transition to a green economy.
Naut stressed the forum’s goals, stating that attracting investments in these crucial sectors is intended to create jobs, boost productivity, and improve the overall economic landscape of the region.
The long-term aim is to position the Caribbean as a premier investment destination.
The forum will offer a platform for investors to explore various development plans and investment opportunities in Guyana and the wider Caribbean region through an array of agenda items and networking opportunities.
