He also noted that private sector players, including those from the SGCC, are keen on exploring other opportunities in real estate, infrastructure, mining, industrial services and tourism.

Because the conference organisers are focused on being as practical and beneficial to businesses and investors as possible, the SGCC Chairman said the entire conference is tailored towards connecting foreign investors with local businesses, business service organisations and other stakeholders.

He added, “We want the content presented at the conference to be for the purpose of educating the delegates on how they can do better business in Guyana.”

Guyana’s President Dr. Irfaan Ali is among the speakers for the event.

Doerga, however, noted that there will be a heavy focus on networking and business to business (B2B) activities.

GMSA President, Ramsay Ali told those gathered at Saturday’s launch that Guyana can become the “primary destination for manufacturing” in the Caribbean.

“It is crucial that we harness the momentum to foster partnerships,” Ali posited.

Head of the Guyana Office for Investment, Peter Ramsaroop charged the organisers of the conference to “figure out how to close deals” at the IBC in October. For him, there have been many conferences already showing the interest in Guyana, and investing in Guyana, so there must be a greater focus now on getting business done.
