A 19-member delegation from Trinidad and Tobago comprising 16 companies interested in the construction, information and communication technology (ICT), and logistics industries has arrived to scout for opportunities.
The delegation is being hosted by the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce and is organised by the Centre for Local Business Development, according to a release from the Department of Public Infor-mation (DPI).
During an engagement at the Pegasus Hotel in Kingston, George-town, Senior Investment Officer at the Guyana Office for Investment, John Edghill, outlined Guyana’s development trajectory, pointing to many investment opportunities.
Edghill said that the government is keen on several key pillars including food, energy, and climate security.
DPI said that the senior investment officer spoke of incentives and concessions that come when investing in the non-oil sectors, noting that the Investment Act of 2004 provides for persons to own and operate businesses, and be treated without discrimination.
“You bring a lot of experience, your technology…your knowledge, and if we are to marry those things together, I think that is a good avenue for us to be able to jointly work as the Caribbean Community to address many of our internal concerns,” he stated.
President of the T&T Chamber, Kiran Maharaj noted that the trade mission shows that there is strength in collaboration and the importance of regional ties.
