CATALYSING INVESTMENT:

FROM DISCUSSION TO DEALS

Catalysing Investment: From Discussion to Deals

Investment is central to the Caribbean’s transition to a smarter, greener and more connected economy. Caribbean Export has continued to move beyond traditional promotion towards building a dynamic deal-making platform that channels capital into high-impact projects across the region.

At the heart of this effort is the Caribbean Investment Forum (CIF), now firmly established as the region’s flagship marketplace for sustainable investment. Staged in Trinidad and Tobago (2022), The Bahamas (2023), Guyana (2024) and most recently Montego Bay, Jamaica (2025), CIF has convened more than 400 investors, private sector leaders, governments and development partners each year, with delegates representing close to 40 countries. The 2025 edition alone showcased a curated pipeline of investment-ready opportunities, including twelve projects valued at over US$80 million in priority sectors such as agribusiness, digital transformation, logistics and the green economy. Through CIF and its follow-up engagement, Caribbean Export is strengthening investor confidence, deepening partnerships with institutions such as the European Union and IDB and positioning regional firms to access long-term financing on competitive terms. As the Agency marks 30 years of service, the Caribbean Investment Forum has become a cornerstone of its investment promotion architecture – connecting global capital with Caribbean ambition and turning ideas into implementable projects that drive jobs, resilience and inclusive growth.
