<strong>The</strong> largest manufacturing convention<br />
within the Caribbean region,<br />
the Trade and Investment Convention (TIC 2017) celebrated a successful 18 years<br />
with over <strong>11</strong>,000 patrons in attendance. With its 2017’s theme “From T&T to World”<br />
the four day gathering of local, regional and international exhibitors and buyers<br />
took place at the Centre of Excellence, Macoya from July 6th to 9th.<br />
<strong>The</strong> multi-sector trade show, which is organized and executed by the Trinidad<br />
and Tobago Manufacturers’ Association (TTMA), has proven to be very effective in<br />
terms of expanding local, regional and international trade, attracting manufacturers,<br />
service providers, buyers, distributors, financial institutions and investors.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Trinidad and Tobago economy is currently experiencing an economic recession.<br />
Despite this, the TIC has been a catalyst for new and existing businesses which, by<br />
extension, supports the economic diversification thrust. <strong>The</strong> business community<br />
and stakeholders are seeing how they can reap the rewards once they develop the<br />
necessary business partnerships and make the necessary investments.<br />
