We like to say that Trinidad and Tobago is “The Place for Business”, because our twin-island nation of just over 1.3 million people is swiftly establishing itself as the business, financial and commercial hub of the Southern Caribbean. In these pages you will find a wide range of local, regional and international businesses that reflect the dynamism, sophistication and scope of our private sector.

Our local businesses have seen difficult times before. Their resilience, flexibility and determination helped us ride the first waves of trade liberalisation and globalisation back in the early 1990s. Today, with the global economic crisis, Trinidad and Tobago is experiencing a slowdown, but our local businesses, in particular our manufacturers, are taking the opportunity to upgrade, re-engineer and strategise, so that they will be more than ready to take on the competition when things improve.

For locally based business operators, this publication is an invaluable reference and networking manual. For prospective investors, it should provide you with a strong sense of the depth and range of our energy and non-energy sectors and help you identify some firms with whom you may develop strategic alliances.

This is an exciting time for us in Trinidad and Tobago, as we move from being a regional to a global operator. Our marketplace is stretching beyond CARICOM and into the world at large and we invite you to participate in the vigorous, vibrant and prosperous business environment which Trinidad and Tobago has to offer the potential investor.
