About the Caribbean Investment Forum 2023

The Caribbean Investment Forum (CIF) 2023 is a multi-stakeholder, multi-disciplinary platform championed by the Caribbean Export Development Agency and its partners to accelerate the closure of the Caribbean’s investment gaps and ultimately transform the region’s economy by providing jobs and opportunities for its people.

At CIF2023 attendees will explore abundant investment opportunities spanning agriculture and agribusiness to renewable energy, and digitalisation, FinTech and logistics and shipping. The Caribbean Export Development Agency together with its partners the European Union, the Government of the Bahamas and CARICOM Secretariat are working together to propel investment ventures forward and drive transformation.

CIF 2023 builds on the success of its inaugural 2022 edition in Trinidad and Tobago, which attracted over 600 delegates from 46 countries. Scheduled at Atlantis – Paradise Island, The Bahamas, from 23-25 October, CIF 2023 will be the year’s largest business gathering in the Caribbean, expecting over 1000 participants. The highly anticipated forum aims to attract investments for a greener and smarter Caribbean economy, promote the region as an investment destination, and facilitate meaningful connections between the investment community and businesses.

CIF Investment Villages

The CIF2023 Investment Villages is where investment potential is unlocked. The investment villages are a major component of CIF and will be a focus of the international communications campaign to attract investors and businesses to the event. CIF2023 will host four investment villages, each focused on one of the key sectors (AgTech, ICT, Renewable Energy and Logistics & Shipping) and provide a platform for large-scale bankable projects to be presented to the attending investment audience.

At CIF 2023, approved projects will be afforded the opportunity to present investment projects to investors at these themed investment villages that will take place on each day of the event.  CIF will have vetted investors from across the world with an active interest in developing partnerships and investing in projects in the Caribbean, providing an unprecedented opportunity for interested businesses who are seeking to raise capital investments.   

Investment projects should be bankable and have ideally completed a feasibility study.  If not, Caribbean Export will provide support via the Investment Project Preparation Facility to prepare projects ahead of the CIF2023.

To be considered for this opportunity, please complete the project profile no later than Friday August 11, 2023. Kindly note that projects will be considered in the order received.
