Invest Barbados is pleased to highlight a significant milestone in regional investment promotion, as the Caribbean Association of Investment Promotion Agencies (CAIPA), under the leadership of its President, Kaye Greenidge, who also serves as CEO of Invest Barbados, formalised its longstanding partnership with UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) through the recent signing of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the 9th UNCTAD World Investment Forum in Doha, Qatar.

The agreement reinforces a shared commitment to strengthening investment promotion capabilities across the Caribbean, with a focus on professional training, simplifying digital investment procedures, and enhancing investment impact measurement.

These initiatives are essential to attracting sustainable investment, creating quality employment opportunities, and advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals throughout the region.

The importance of strengthening access to innovative financing solutions for Small Island Developing States was a key focus of discussions at the Forum in which CAIPA participated, highlighting the region’s strong pipeline of investment opportunities and the need for financing structures capable of bringing these projects to scale.

Invest Barbados welcomes this continued collaboration, recognising the importance of strategic international partnerships in positioning Barbados and the wider Caribbean as competitive jurisdictions for sustainable investment. Invest in Barbados
