Caribbean entrepreneurs interested in expanding their existing businesses are being invited to apply for grants that are currently available through a programme jointly funded by Global Affairs Canada, the Department for International Development (DFID) in the United Kingdom, and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).

‘Compete Caribbean’, a five-year Caribbean private sector development programme, is targeting fifteen  Caribbean countries and Caribbean-based firms that can benefit from non-repayable grants ranging from US$100,000 to US$500,000.
