Head of the European Union (EU) Delegation in Guyana, Ambassador René van Nes on March 26th announced plans for an EU trade mission here later this year.
Speaking at the EU – Guyana Chamber of Commerce’s first networking event, van Nes said that the trade mission aims to address specific issues such as forestry, timber, furniture, and pharmaceuticals, based on suggestions from Chamber members and stakeholders.
During the event, significant successes in matchmaking and lobbying for EU businesses in Guyana were noted. Addressing the gathering, Chamber Chairman Gregory Dean emphasized the growing interest from European companies outside of Guyana seeking support to enter the market, leading the Chamber to engage in matchmaking activities despite initially not intending to do so. He further highlighted the Chamber’s efforts to pivot and adapt its operations to cater to the specific needs of EU businesses in Guyana and those looking to establish a presence in the country.
