GuyExpo 2025 launched – Stabroek News

GuyExpo 2025 was officially launched yesterday, with a call for large and small-scale businesses and entrepreneurs to take the opportunity to showcase their products.

Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce Susan Rodrigues delivered the feature address at the GuyExpo 2025 launch

The Department of Public Information said that the event is scheduled for November 13 to 16, at the Sophia Exhibition Centre under the theme “Transformation Through Entrepreneurship and Innovation.”

During the launch at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre in Liliendaal, Rodrigues said this year’s event will have new features to enhance its impact.

She explained that even with the changes, the exposition will still promote the economy’s dynamism while preserving its core identity.

“GuyExpo is unmatched in terms of exposure; it offers a rare platform to showcase products and services not only to local consumers but to international investors and partners,”  Rodrigues stated.

“We are creating a dedicated space for businesses and investors to engage in serious conversation about collaboration and expansion,” she added.

This networking component, she said, will be supported by the Guyana Office for Investment, whose expertise will be pivotal in linking entrepreneurs with investors.

“The physical layout of the expo will also undergo a transformation, while the traditional elements that Guyanese have come to cherish, such as the vibrant food courts, the children’s area and tourism village, will remain. These features will be enhanced for greater prominence and impact,”  Rodrigues said.

Businesses that have grown with GuyExpo in the past three decades will also be honoured, while illuminated signs and improved directional systems will be introduced.
