DOING BUSINESS WITH THE WORLD - Virtual Launch
2023-03-29 10:00 (America/Port_of_Spain) | Zoom
The Trinidad and Tobago Coalition of Services Industries (TTCSI) is partnering with 28 plus countries in Trinidad and Tobago to host a “Doing Business with the World Series”. The series is geared towards educating services exporters across the globe on doing business in Trinidad and Tobago and vice versa. It will consist of six physical events and 28 plus webinars where captains of industry, Ambassadors and Ministers of Trade will share first-hand information on their respective countries. The series will include a week of activities on the country and will include a cultural dimension where cuisine and entertainment of the specific country is highlighted – all in a vein to demonstrate the scope and depth of the services sector.
The series is open to Caribbean and international businesses, not just those in Trinidad and Tobago. Focus will be placed on the Business and Professional Services Sector, Education Services, Maritime Services, and ICT Services just to name a few. Stay tuned for more details on how to participate in the “Doing Business with the World Series.” It takes a community to build a services exporter and this is what we at the TTCSI will be doing… we are demonstrating that the Services Sector in T&T is ready to take on the world… #GoGlobalTTServices

Two winners will be awarded each year, one person from Trinidad and Tobago and one person from the Caribbean region.
The Award was named in honour of the first President of the TTCSI. Larry, as he was known by many, was a keen advocate for the development of the services sector nationally and regionally. He was the foremost authority on trade in services in the Caribbean region and was a strong believer in Caribbean integration.
The objective of the Award is to not only recognize high potential services providers, but also build the competencies of services exporters in the Caribbean, creating a cadre of service providers and firms that are position to expand their businesses.
The winners will receive coaching services funded by Caribbean Export and the European Union. This coaching will include one-on-one sessions with a certified trainer, towards the completion and implementation of the export plan submitted. In addition, B2B connections will be made in identified markets. Past winners of the T&T leg of the Award were Simone Sant (2019), Sian Cuffy – Young (2020) and Abiel Thomas (2020).
