Guyana’s Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) hosted a delegation of Colombian energy and infrastructure companies on Wednesday as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen trade and investment relations between Guyana and Colombia.
The business engagement brought together representatives from both countries to explore investment opportunities, discuss potential partnerships, and identify areas for collaboration across Guyana’s expanding economy.
Addressing the delegation, GCCI President Kathy Smith said Guyana’s rapid economic growth continues to create opportunities across sectors including energy, infrastructure, construction, manufacturing, mining, agriculture, forestry, and tourism. She encouraged Colombian companies to partner with local businesses as they explore opportunities in the country’s growing market.
GCCI Senior Vice President and Chairman of the Trade and Investment Committee, Gavin Ramsoondar, said the Chamber remains committed to facilitating trade and investment by connecting international companies with its membership. He noted that the GCCI continues to support business matchmaking, joint ventures, and other initiatives aimed at fostering long-term commercial relationships.
Members of the Colombian delegation highlighted their expertise in renewable energy, electrical infrastructure, engineering, telecommunications, geotechnical services, transformer manufacturing, and specialised construction solutions. They also expressed interest in working with Guyanese companies and contributing to infrastructure and energy projects.
The engagement forms part of broader efforts to deepen commercial relations between Guyana and Colombia through continued dialogue, trade missions, and private sector collaboration as both countries seek to expand regional business and investment opportunities.
