Guyana is gearing up to host the Caribbean Investment Forum from July 10 – 12, 2024, a key event for business collaboration and development.
The forum will be held at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre (ACCC), will focus on sustainable agriculture, green economy transition and digitalization of business.
Agriculture and food security are among Guyana’s top priorities moving forward. In addition to the target of achieving the 25 by 2025 target, Guyana aims to achieve cheaper energy by 2025, paving the way for large-scale agro-processing and sustainable farming.
Dr. Peter Ramsaroop, the Chief Investment Officer for Guyana noted that a key goal of the conference is to foster more joint ventures and partnerships, particularly in sectors like tourism, to enhance product offerings and collaboration.
The conference will provide the opportunity for businesses to present their ‘bankable projects’ to potential investors.
Dr Ramsaroop stated that there is a plan to partner with IDB to guide the local private sector, briefing them on conference requirements and preparing them accordingly.
Last year’s forum was hosted in The Bahamas. It focused on four main areas including agricultural technology, renewable energy, ICT digital business, FINTECH, logistics and transport.
