It will focus largely on fostering inter-commerce in the Caribbean including exploring investment opportunities with Latin America, US and the Caribbean Diasporas for economic development of the region. The Expo is scheduled over three days from June 5 at the Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC, USA.
Mrs. Butters-Grant will receive the Alliance Institute for Business Innovation Award. The Haiti Renewal Alliance (HRA) Business Investment Expo & Conference, now in its fifth edition promoting business development and investment, has established itself as the premier and the largest Diaspora network event gathering high profile government officials, private sector, investors, NGOs, bankers, funders, entrepreneurs to discuss investment opportunities, form partnerships, share experiences, knowledge, passion and commitment to promoting sustainable development in developing markets.
The award was created to acknowledge innovative businesses and organizations promoting economic development through direct investments in the Caribbean. We honour these global development leaders from the private and public sector during our VIP closing event for HRA’s Expo.
Past recipients included Gilbert Hippolyte, Panexus, Dr. Kit Miyamoto, Miyamoto International, Chad W. Bissonnette, Roots of Development, and the Embassy of the Republic of Haiti.
