-START-
The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) held a press conference on October 25th, 2022, to announce its upcoming Business Development Forum, slated for November 11th and 12th 2022, at the Pegasus Corporate Center, Georgetown, Guyana.
Conceptualized in 2018, The Business Development Forum (BDF) is an annual two (2) day business forum that is expected to benefit the wider business community through the provision of a platform for dialogues regarding the growth of businesses irrespective of their size. The Chamber anticipates that the event should see the participation of some 500 persons at the forum, and thousands at its joint exhibition which will display businesses pertinent to business development.
GCCI’s President, Mr. Timothy Tucker revealed that the Chamber is excited to announce the return of the business development forum as it continues to play a substantial role in developing businesses at both the local and international levels.
While successful in its first and second years of execution, unfortunately, the Business Development Forum was halted in the third year (2020), due to the COVID-19 Global pandemic. The decision was made this year to reconvene the forum due to a great demand for business development discussions focused on improving the internal dynamics of all firms within Guyana’s private sector.
GCCI’s Executive Director, Mr. Rambarran, said that the forum intends to bridge the gaps as it relates to the knowledge and capacity of the private sector. To achieve this, the forum promises to address five thematic areas: Access to Finance, Opportunities for Businesses, Improving Standards and Quality, Doing business in Guyana; specifically for aspiring entrepreneurs and Marketing fundamentals.
The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) is delighted to announce that ExxonMobil Guyana has come on board as the main event partner for the Business Development Forum 2022.
