Building a Stronger
Services Future for
Trinidad & Tobago
A national coalition advancing visibility, advocacy, trade, and growth for the services sector.
The Trinidad and Tobago Coalition of Services Industries brings together associations, firms, professionals, and sector stakeholders to strengthen the services economy through representation, market access, research, export development, collaboration, and institutional support.
Why TTCSI Exists
TTCSI exists to ensure that Trinidad and Tobago’s services sector is organised, represented, and better positioned for sustainable national, regional, and international growth. We serve as a unifying platform where service providers can connect, advocate, collaborate, and access the tools needed to compete in an increasingly dynamic global economy.
Who We Serve
TTCSI is designed to support the full services ecosystem, from umbrella associations and established firms to growth-stage MSMEs and independent professionals seeking stronger representation and better access to opportunity.
Associations
Representative bodies and sector organisations that need a stronger platform for advocacy, engagement, research support, collaboration, and national visibility on behalf of their members.
MSMEs
Small and medium-sized service businesses that want more visibility, stronger business connections, growth support, export guidance, and pathways into local, regional, and international opportunities.
Professionals
Independent consultants, specialists, and experts who want to build profile, connect with the right networks, stay informed, and participate more actively in the development of the services sector.
Our Story
The Trinidad and Tobago Coalition of Services Industries was established in October 2006 as an umbrella organisation bringing together services associations and sector bodies in Trinidad and Tobago. From the outset, TTCSI was created to serve as a focal point for advocacy, trade and services development issues, and the strengthening of a sector that plays a major role in national economic activity.
As the services economy evolved, TTCSI’s role also expanded. The organisation has continued to support national service providers by creating stronger linkages between members, industry stakeholders, policymakers, development partners, and emerging opportunities in trade and investment.
Today, TTCSI is more than a representative body. It is a growth platform for the services sector — one that works to improve competitiveness, promote sector visibility, strengthen export capacity, expand partnerships, and support firms and professionals as they move from local relevance to wider market participation.
What Makes TTCSI Important
- The services sector is a major driver of jobs, innovation, and economic activity.
- Many service providers still need stronger representation, data, visibility, and easier access to opportunities.
- TTCSI helps bridge that gap through collective action, intelligence, partnerships, and sector development support.
- The coalition creates a more connected environment for services firms to grow with confidence.
