Petroleum exhibition hailed as success

The Guyana International Petroleum Exhibition (GIPEX) yesterday ended with high praise from the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) which lauded the move to make booth space rentals more affordable to locals this year.

But given that a lot of the local companies are startups, the GCCI believes that additional ways have to be looked at to  see if the costs could be brought down even further to meet the pockets of locals.

“Yes [we are]. We motivated a number of local [participants],” Head of the GCCI, Nicholas Boyer responded yesterday when asked if the Chamber was pleased about the local participation.
