The Ministry of Business together with its private sector partners is proud to host the Guyana Trade and Investment Exhibition ‘GuyTIE 2018’. This inaugural activity, the largest and most exciting business to business event in Guyana, will be held from September 19th -22nd at the Guyana Marriott Hotel, Georgetown. GuyTIE is strategically aligned with the objectives of the Ministry of Business and broader government policy to create the enabling environment that will foster business growth and development in Guyana. In light of this, the Private Sector Bodies are in full support with regards to planning the event and sponsorship. More than 60 exhibitors will be on display throughout the entire indoor conference area of the Guyana Marriott Hotel. Participating businesses will represent various business sectors in Guyana including Agro-processing, Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals, Construction, Food and Beverage, Food Processing, Forestry and Wood Products, Information and Communications, Print and Publishing, Printing and Packaging, Tourism, Arts and Craft, and other services. Buyers have also registered from around the globe, from as far away as India and Korea, and will be here as Guyana signals that it is ‘Open for Business’.
Buyers from Trinidad and Tobago, Belize, Haiti, Barbados, Jamaica, Cuba and Brazil are also registered to be there and will be looking for avenues to interact with the business community in Guyana. The opportunities for business linkages, sales and promotion are nothing but far-reaching, allowing businesses to tangibly benefit from the interactions during the event. According to the organisers, Buyer registration is still open; it is expected that more than 100 buyers will be at the Guyana Marriott when the exhibition opens on the 19th September. Additionally, as part of the activities this year, the GuyTIE Steering Committee in collaboration with its partners will also be hosting a series of seminars geared towards business development and capacity building.
There will be presentations on Achieving Success at Trade Shows, Trade Show preparation and Export Marketing (Packaging and Pricing). Arrangements are also being made to facilitate one on one B2B meetings between buyers and exhibitors. These meetings will undoubtedly result in major trade deals being facilitated at this event. Exhibitors have recognised that participation at GuyTIE is an excellent opportunity to expose their business and to have the chance to display and showcase their products.
