At the Guyana Energy Conference and Supply Chain Exposition, a chorus of influential voices echoed a resounding message to regional and international investors: seize the abundant opportunities available in Guyana’s burgeoning economy.

Former Colombian President, Iván Duque Márquez, set the tone for the discussions, emphasizing the multifaceted investment potential in Guyana.

He highlighted not only the burgeoning oil and gas sector but also opportunities in environmental conservation, biodiversity credits, sustainable housing, and collaboration with indigenous communities.

Former US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, joined the discourse virtually, underlining the critical role of Guyana’s energy sector in both national and global energy security.

Pompeo urged business leaders to follow an innovative and market-driven approach, drawing parallels with successful strategies employed in the United States.

Liam Mallon, President of ExxonMobil Upstream Company, underscored Guyana’s appeal to responsible operators and investors, citing the country’s conducive business environment and the sector’s remarkable achievements.

The opening of the Guyana Energy Conference saw the participation of heads of state, energy experts, and investors from over 20 countries.

With more than 200 exhibitors across various sectors, the event offers lucrative investment opportunities that promise mutual benefits for Guyana and the private sector.

As Guyana experiences unprecedented growth and development across all sectors, the consensus among panelists is clear: now is the opportune moment to invest in the country’s promising future.
