GO-Invest onboard for 2nd edition of Int’l Energy Conference and Expo

The Guyana Office for Investment, (GoInvest) has again thrown its support behind Guyana’s International Energy Conference and Expo, the second edition of which is slated for February 14-17, 2023.

This endorsement was given by the Chief Investment Officer of Guyana, Dr. Peter Ramsaroop, on Wednesday.

In remarks, Dr. Ramsaroop said, “The Guyana Office for Investment is proud to be a partner of the Energy Conference. We believe it will allow Guyana to stand out in many aspects and in many sectors, energy and renewable energy being chief among them; but it will also benefit other sectors, like agriculture, manufacturing, tourism and mining.”

He added, “As we saw in the first edition last year, this conference provides many opportunities for faceto-face engagements with a broad range of investors. While Guyana’s oil and gas development is at the centre of focus, it has drawn attention to all investment opportunities for Guyana.

Go-Invest acts as the main point of contact for investors, and communicates with Government organi- zations throughout the investment process for people or companies interested in investing in Guyana. In addition, it gives investors a thorough rundown of the procedures required to launch a firm, along with a number of other advantageous procedures for investment.”

In response to the endorsement from GoInvest, Chief Executive Officer of the International Energy Conference and Expo Guyana 2023, Kurt Baboolall, related, “Guyana Invest’s continued support of the Conference and Expo is exemplary, and we
