Over 20 companies from countries in Europe have indicated an interest in doing business in Guyana and thus a three-day trade mission is slated to begin on November 20, European Union (EU) Ambassador René van Nes said yesterday.
The Ambassador, at a press briefing held at the EU delegation office in Georgetown, said that the inaugural trade mission was premised on bolstering business partnerships between European countries and Guyana. He highlighted that the trade mission will zoom in on investments and discussions on climate change, renewable energy, financial security, and oil and gas among other areas.
“The focus of this mission will be to go into a number of sectors, to explore areas of development, to look for partners, to look for investment opportunities,” he said. “We are hoping that this will lead to a number of concrete relations [and] investment opportunities that will materialize in the period after that.”
