Guyana World Trade Centre to be opened in October

Guyana’s first World Trade Center is slated to be officially opened on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, its Chief Executive Chairman, Komal Samaroo announced on Monday.

In a press release, World Trade Center Georgetown said Samaroo made the announcement in an invitation to delegates at the World Trade Center Association’s 55th annual General Assembly and Global Business Forum.

The building is situated at Lot 44 High Street, Kingston, Georgetown.

World Trade Center Georgetown is the first and the only in the CARICOM region.

“The official opening…will take place as Guyana has emerged as one of the fastest-growing economies globally, driven by its burgeoning energy sector, infrastructure development, and a robust investment climate. As a result, this dynamic environment offers substantial opportunities for trade -both imports into and exports from the country.

“The opening of the World Trade Centre Georgetown signifies not only Guyana’s but the Caribbean Community (CARICOM’s) commitment to fostering international business relations as well as its desire to serve as a key player in global commerce,” the statement said Samaroo noted in the invitation letter.

The opening will feature speeches by government officials, business leaders, and international trade experts.

It will precede the annual WTCA Members Forum in New York City which is scheduled to open on October 28, the release noted.

“This way, delegates attending the WTCA meeting from across the globe and who have expressed an interest in coming to Guyana could find it convenient to so do,” WTCG executive director Wesley Kirton said, according to the release.

By participating in the opening, persons will be exposed to a platform to explore a myriad opportunities in areas such as agriculture and agribusiness, mining, tourism, manufacturing and energy.
