CATALYSING INVESTMENT:

FROM DISCUSSION TO DEALS

SMART. GREEN. CONNECTED: Caribbean Investment Forum, Jamaica

Hosted in partnership with the Government of Jamaica, the European Union and the CARICOM Secretariat, CIF 2025 was held in Montego Bay from 29–31 July under the theme SMART. GREEN. CONNECTED. The Forum aligned directly with Caribbean Export’s strategic priorities around green economy transition, digital transformation and innovation, sustainable agriculture and food security, and logistics and transport. Over three days, more than 330 participants from 20 countries – including 83 firms and 18 investors – engaged in high-level policy dialogue, practical workshops and focused deal-making. Partnering for Impact: Strategic Alliances Powering and Emerging from CIF 2025 The Caribbean Investment Forum is intentionally designed as more than an event. It is a platform that convenes the institutions, financiers, governments, development partners and private sector actors needed to position the Caribbean as a credible and attractive destination for foreign direct investment. Through CIF, Caribbean Export actively connects these stakeholders, turning dialogue into operational collaboration and building the strategic and functional partnerships that help move regional investment opportunities from concept to financing. This is achieved not only through sponsorship and visibility, but also through alliances that strengthen project preparation, bolster investor confidence and deepen long-term institutional cooperation across the region. A key operational partnership underpinning CIF 2025 was Caribbean Export’s collaboration with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) to strengthen the investment readiness of projects presented at the Forum. Together, the organisations led the selection and packaging of high potential opportunities across the Caribbean, supporting project sponsors with investment profiling, financial structuring, and refinement of their presentations and pitches. This joint effort ensured that projects showcased at CIF were backed by robust financial models, clear risk assessments and professionally developed materials that met international investor expectations, significantly enhancing the credibility and attractiveness of the regional project pipeline.
