World Trade Centre Georgetown to be opened on October 21

Guyana’s economic and international business landscape is set to unfold as the World Trade Centre Georgetown (WTCG) Guyana is officially scheduled to open on Tuesday, October 21, 2025.
“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 official opening of the new facility, located at 44 High Street, Kingston, in the capital city of Georgetown, comes at a pivotal time as Guyana emerges as one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. This growth is being driven by a booming energy sector, major infrastructure development, and a robust investment climate.
While the formal opening is set for October, occupancy of the WTCG building will begin in June.
As a result, the country presents substantial opportunities for trade; both in terms of imports and exports.
The announcement was made on April 11 through special invitations issued to delegates attending the World Trade Centre Association’s (WTCA) 55th Annual General Assembly and Global Business Forum, following four days of deliberations on trade and investment issues.
Participation in the opening activities will provide an excellent platform to explore a myriad of opportunities in sectors such as agriculture and agribusiness, mining, tourism, manufacturing, energy, and more—areas in which Guyana and the CARICOM region now offer significant potential.
WTCG is the first, and currently the only, World Trade Centre in the CARICOM region. The formal opening, along with a two-day business programme, will feature distinguished speakers, including Government officials, business leaders, and international trade experts.
According to the letter, the event has been strategically scheduled to precede the annual WTCA Members Forum in New York City, set to begin on October 28.
“This way, delegates attending the WTCA meeting from across the globe who have expressed an interest in visiting Guyana could find it convenient to do so,” explained WTCG Executive Director Wesley Kirton.
“The opening of the World Trade Centre Georgetown signifies not only Guyana’s but also the Caribbean Community’s commitment to fostering international business relations, as well as its ambition to become a key player in global commerce,” the letter adds.
