This year, the Ministry of Commerce, Manufacturing, Business Development, Cooperatives and Consumer Affairs in partnership with the Embassy of the Republic of China (Taiwan) will proudly host the 14th Annual Saint Lucia-Taiwan Partnership Trade Show at Gros Islet Human Resource Development Centre, from November 26th to 27th, 2021. This year the trade show will be like no other as it will take place not only at the physical location but also virtually, thus allowing the wider international trading community to view quality and authentic goods and services of Saint Lucia and Taiwan.
“Propelling Business Development through Technology” is the theme for this auspicious event in which the Ministry is calling on emerging and existing businesses which are part of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Sector or simply businesses which have used some form of innovative technology to improve their business operations to showcase their products and services to the global village.
As the Government continues to institute policies to help rebuild our economy and strengthen our resilience in the wake amid the pandemic, it is of importance that our businesses are given avenues to expose their goods and services to potential buyers and investors. Therefore, in addition to showcasing the innovative and attractive goods and services from Saint Lucia and Taiwan businesses, both countries will profit the opportunity to develop strategic trading and networking alliances whether through joint venture arrangements, partnerships or franchising prospects. It is anticipated that tangible results will be realized by participants of this year’s trade show.
To this end, the Ministry of Commerce invites manufacturers and service providers interested in participating in the Trade Show, to complete the registration form from the website www.commerce.gov.lc or https://forms.gle/TegrRLzQjcRK4yWv7. All application must be submitted on or before Monday, October 25th 2021.
