The Caribbean Investment Forum, a key event for business collaboration and development in the region, is set to take place in Georgetown, Guyana, in July 2024.
The announcement was made by Dr. Deodat Maharaj, the Executive Director of the Caribbean Export Development Agency.
The forum, now in its third edition, serves as a platform for bringing together investors and business leaders from the Caribbean and beyond.
Dr. Maharaj highlighted the forum’s role in facilitating connections between investors and regional businesses, leading to financing for various projects.
The ultimate goal is to stimulate job creation and sustainable opportunities in the private and public sectors.
Speaking on the importance of the forum, Dr. Maharaj emphasized its role in fast-tracking Caribbean development.
By creating matches between investors and businesses, the forum contributes to economic growth, creating sustainable jobs and opportunities.
The collaborative effort involves participants from both within and outside the Caribbean, fostering regional partnerships.
One of the focal points of the forum is to attract investments that can positively impact the Guyanese economy and enhance regional and international trade.
The event aims to provide a conducive environment for discussions on various investment-related topics, including the utilization of technology in trade and agriculture.
