for local enterprises – Rodrigues
-by Nakasia Logan
Local businesses, manufacturers and agro-processors are expected to benefit from new networking and partnership opportunities at this year’s GuyExpo.
This year, organisers are introducing a dedicated business-to-business session aimed at connecting local suppliers with potential buyers.
The event will also feature a business networking session dubbed Biz Link, designed to connect businesses, foster partnerships and create new opportunities for growth and collaboration.
“This year we have carefully curated his business to business to networking session along with GOInvest and we are bringing together buyers and suppliers and will be working closely with our manufacturers and agro processors and we’re even bringing together hoteliers and those who operate in tourism space to be able to match those buyers with local suppliers,” Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, Susan Rodrigues said.
The minister says there are 13 new sponsors on board, with Scotiabank being the Platinum Sponsor this year.
This year’s exposition will feature 334 booths, two auditoriums, an International Pavilion and the popular Tourism Village, where visitors can enjoy local cuisine, live cooking demonstrations and cultural entertainment.
With 317 booths already allocated and just 17 remaining, interest in the four-day event continues to grow.
Organisers have also expanded the ticket distribution network to 25 locations across the country and introduced additional scanners at the entrances to improve access and reduce waiting times.
GuyExpo will run from November 12-15.
