The 2026 Trade and Investment Convention is bringing together manufacturers, entrepreneurs and key stakeholders from across the region.

Despite ongoing economic challenges, TTMA President Emil Ramkissoon says that, with 411 exhibitors, the Convention remains a vital platform for businesses to build sales, expand export markets and create new opportunities.

“Given the concerns, manufacturers and business people know how to navigate. I wouldn’t say we are accustomed navigating. Given the outlook of TIC, I guess when you have concerns in the business sector, use every opportunity to get your products, to build sales, to build export markets, to network. And that is why TIC exists. That’s why we have been doing this since 1999. This is our 27th instalment. So I would say that the concerns are still concerning, but we have to pivot as a business community.”
