LACSES 2023
Latin America & the Caribbean Services Exporters Symposium 2023 (LACSES 2023) June 2023
– 3 days of Trade shows/Exhibitions & Rooms for B2B Meetings
Venue: Port of Spain, Trinidad
Services are vital for transforming the Latin American and Caribbean economies, providing a strong economic dynamism and producing the source for job creation and welfare.
The Trinidad and Tobago Coalition of Services Industries (TTCSI), in collaboration with the Asociación Latinoamericana de Exportadores de Servicios (ALES) and the Barbados Coalition of Services Industries (BCSI), will be hosting a three-day Services Exporters Symposium bringing together decision makers, key stakeholders, captains of industry, as well as emerging and existing champions of services to accelerate the services agenda in Latin America and the Caribbean.
LACSES 2023 hopes to attract 350 local, regional, and international participants over the period. As Latin American and Caribbean businesses navigate the new norm, collaboration is key to pivoting services driven firms in the region. Focus also will be placed on trading with the European Union. There is no time like the present to work towards regional integration.
This symposium will make a bold move to stimulate partnerships and joint ventures amongst firms, associations and coalitions within the region.
One of the major events for the TTCSI for this year, the Symposium builds on the TTCSI’s Annual General Meeting Luncheon held in May 2022, where experts from the Inter-American Development Bank, Caribbean Export and the CARICOM Private Sector Organization began dialoguing on how best to transform the region into a knowledge services hub.
At the LACSES 2023, emphasis will be placed on the unique selling points of the region—going beyond sun, sand and sea. For more than six decades, the Caribbean has been an exporter of health and construction services. Latin America’s services sector on the other hand, has become increasingly attractive due to its competitive costs and diverse, talented workforce. But few inroads have been made in building bridges across Latin America and the Caribbean.
We will seek answers to the question: How do we brand the region as the first globally declared knowledge services hub that promotes sustainability, green businesses and digitization of micro, small and medium sized entrepreneurs?
TTCSI’s Services Week 2023
TTCSI’s Services Week returns on November 20-24, in Port of Spain, Trinidad.
Services Week 2023 will bring together industry leaders, decision makers, entrepreneurs and technocrats to focus on accelerating the services sector in the region. A primary objective is to create an on-going dialogue amongst key stakeholders as we move to build a resilient, integrated services sector within the region.
The TTCSI will showcase its Global Services Exporters Portal, which will enable us to conduct more robust B2B meetings on a continuing basis. Top executives from leading services businesses will also form part of the week of activities.
