World Trade Centre Georgetown for October opening

Apr 14, 2025 News

Kaieteur News-  The World Trade Centre Georgetown, Guyana (WTCG) will be officially declared open in October this year.

The announcement took the form of special invitations issued to delegates attending the World Trade Center Association’s 55th annual General Assembly and Global Business Forum in France, following four days of deliberations on trade and investment issues.

“It is with great pleasure that I have the honour to invite you to the formal opening of the World Trade Centre Georgetown (Guyana) on Tuesday, October 21st, 2025, at 10 am,’’ says the invitation letter signed by WTCG’s Executive Chairman Komal Samaroo.

The opening has been timed to precede the annual WTCA Members Forum in New York City, which is scheduled to open on October 28. “This way, delegates attending the WTCA meeting from across the globe and who have expressed an interest in coming to Guyana could find it convenient to so do,” WTCG executive director Wesley Kirton points out.

“The official opening of our building at 44 High Street, Kingston, in the capital city, Georgetown, will take place as Guyana has emerged as one of the fastest-growing economies globally, driven by its burgeoning energy sector, infrastructure development, and a robust investment climate. As a result, this dynamic environment offers substantial opportunities for trade, both imports into and exports from the country.

“The opening of the World Trade Centre Georgetown signifies not only Guyana’s but the Caribbean Community’s (CARICOM) commitment to fostering international business relations as well as its desire to serve as a key player in global commerce,” the letter adds.

Participation in the opening activities will provide an excellent platform to explore the myriad opportunities in areas such as agriculture and agribusiness, mining, tourism, manufacturing, energy and more, which Guyana and the CARICOM region now offer.  WTC Georgetown is the first, and currently the only WTC in the CARICOM region. The formal opening and related business program will feature distinguished speakers, including government officials, business leaders, and international trade experts over two days.  While the formal opening is set for October, occupancy of the WTCG building will begin in June.
