Having already significantly paraded its credentials as a noteworthy regional asset, mostly through its highly publicized efforts to seek to forge closer business ties between Africa and the Caribbean, the Barbados-based Caribbean Export Agency (Caribbean Export) has made public an opening for Barbadian firms pursuing projects on the island to access what the August 1 issue of the Barbados Nation says are “millions of dollars” in investment funding for those projects. The Nation article says that the funding is targeting “large projects with national or regional reach” seeking capital investment exceeding $US1 million, naming agricultural technology, logistics and transport, information/communication technology and renewable energy as the disciplines being targeted for the envisaged investment.
