A delegation of senior Brazilian investors and business leaders this week met with Chief Investment Officer and Agency Head of the Guyana Office for Investment (GO-Invest), Peter Ramsaroop, and his team to examine investment opportunities in Guyana across key sectors, including infrastructure, logistics, energy services, and natural resources.
The delegation comprised principals from Carpa Family Office, Arc Capital, Limppano S.A., Ageo Terminais, and Starboard, along with the former Chief Executive Officer of Credit Suisse Brazil and representatives from the family behind Cosan, one of Brazil’s largest conglomerates with interests in energy, logistics, and natural resources.
According to GO-Invest, the visit was organised by Rise Guyana, a Georgetown-based investment platform with active holdings in real estate, infrastructure, and natural resources. Rise Guyana co-founders Steven Grin and Kristine Thompson, who have been investing in Guyana for several years, brought the group together as part of efforts to strengthen the investment corridor between Guyana and Brazil.
During discussions, the parties explored how Brazilian capital and operational expertise could support Guyana’s ongoing economic transformation under President Dr. Irfaan Ali’s Vision 2030 development agenda.
Among the areas highlighted for potential collaboration were port and logistics infrastructure, the Brazil-Guyana highway corridor, and opportunities linked to resource sector development.
The Brazilian delegation is also expected to meet with President Ali during the visit as talks continue on deepening economic ties and expanding investment cooperation between the two neighbouring countries.
“Brazil and Guyana share a border, a highway, and an enormous opportunity,” Grin said. “This delegation represents the beginning of a sustained investment relationship, not a single visit.”
GO-Invest said the visit underscores the growing level of international investor interest in Guyana, as the country continues to position itself as one of the world’s fastest-growing and most attractive investment destinations.
