Last Friday April 10, 2026, Global Trinidad and Tobago was proud to serve as a Gold Sponsor of the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce (TTCIC) Business Outlook Meeting, one of the country’s most important platforms for shaping economic direction and private sector dialogue.
The feature address, delivered by His Excellency Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali, President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, reinforced a clear and forward-looking vision for economic transformation across the region. His perspectives on economic diversification, scaling non-energy exports, enhancing productivity, improving the ease of doing business and accelerating foreign direct investment strongly align with the strategic direction of Global Trinidad and Tobago.
Our CEO, Sekou Alleyne, also contributed to the panel discussion titled “From Constraint to Competitiveness: Unlocking Public-Private Partnerships in Trinidad and Tobago,” where he joined a distinguished group of regional and private sector leaders:
- Mr. Bernardo Requena — Representative in Trinidad and Tobago, CAF (Corporación Andina de Fomento)
- Ms. Vashtie Dookiesingh — Private Sector Finance Lead Specialist, IDB Lab
- Mr. James McLetchie — President and CEO, The Massy Group
- Mr. John Hadad — Group Co-CEO, Hadco Group
The discussion was expertly moderated by Dr. Christian Stone, Senior Vice President, Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce and CEO, Term Finance SME.
Within this forum, Sekou Alleyne positioned Global Trinidad and Tobago as the country’s Trade and Investment Promotion Agency, highlighting its role as a key driver in enhancing national competitiveness through a more strategically aligned approach to trade and investment, particularly within the non-energy sectors.
As underscored throughout the discussion, the path forward requires more than ambition. It demands alignment, execution and a clear national value proposition that reflects who we are and where we are going. In today’s global economy, competitiveness is not optional—it is essential.
Global Trinidad and Tobago remains committed to driving this agenda forward—strengthening our international positioning, supporting exporters, attracting high-quality investment and unlocking the full potential of our non-energy sectors.
