Caribbean Export and EPA Implementation in the Caribbean Services Sector EXPORT DEVELOPMENT & PROMOTION

London Engage

In 2012, Caribbean Export conceptualised the London Engage initiative as the platform to launch Caribbean businesses into the European market. In addition to using the Summer Olympic Games as the optimal setting to showcase the talent and opportunities available within an integrated Caribbean, the Agency also sought to

demonstrate the region’s potential for investment, expansion, and diversified growth. Seventeen (17) firms within the regional services sector were exhibited through a succession of initiatives, namely the Caribbean Architecture Design Showcase, Caribbean Essence Fashion Showcase, and Soul Fusion (Figure 6) .
