The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) in collaboration with the Jamaica Chamber of Commerce (JCC) will be hosting an incoming trade delegation of 10 Jamaican companies which is scheduled to take place from January 26 to January 31 at the Pegasus Hotel, Georgetown.
According to a GCCI release, the delegation will be comprised of companies in various sectors including information communications technology (ICT), financial services, business support services, manufacturing, real estate development and distribution.
Companies interested in meeting with specific visiting companies can contact the GCCI Secretariat at telephone numbers 592-226-3519 or 592-227-6641, or via email at gccicommerce2009@gmail.com, the release added.
The Trade Mission programme will include meetings with prominent public and private sector representatives such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Guyana Office for Investment (GO- Invest) and the Centre for Local Business Development. Matchmaking sessions will also be facilitated to enable one-on-one conversations between the participating companies and potential local partners, in an effort to identify future partnership opportunities.
The GCCI views this initiative as a “key advancement” in the commercial relationship between Jamaica and Guyana. Through this engagement, the GCCI and the JCC hope to foster collaborative business relationships and to encourage, promote, and facilitate trade and investment between Jamaica and Guyana. It also allows the GCCI the opportunity to advocate for Guyana as a destination for Jamaican investment.
