The TT Chamber of Industry and Commerce (TT Chamber) is set to embark on a pivotal trade mission to Jamaica from June 25-29.
This exciting venture follows on the heels of successful trade missions to Las Vegas, US and Guyana earlier this year, underlining the chamber’s commitment to fostering international business connections and enhancing economic growth within the Caribbean region and beyond.
This upcoming mission aims to deepen the longstanding trading relationship between Jamaica and TT, both key members of Caricom.
It will serve as a platform for businesses to explore new prospects in the Jamaican market, connect with like-minded companies and collaborate to unlock mutually beneficial trade opportunities.
While trade between these nations has seen considerable success, the mission recognises there is substantial room for improvement and greater collaboration.
The focus of this mission is on driving growth and prosperity for businesses in both TT and Jamaica.
It is designed with several strategic objectives to ensure that participants can capitalise on new opportunities and forge beneficial relationships.
It will create a platform for business-to-business (b2b) engagement, fostering meaningful connections and collaborations.
Focusing on the identification and cultivation of joint ventures, partnerships and distributorship arrangements, the mission will highlight the investment incentives available in Jamaica, encouraging sustained interaction and co-operation to build lasting business relationships.
