SUPPORT
Meanwhile, Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, Oneidge Walrond, who was at the launch, stated that the new package complements the government’s efforts towards a developing an enabling climate for small and medium enterprises.
She lauded the collaboration between the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) and GTT for organising the business expo, which served as a way to give small and medium businesses a platform to exhibit their products and services.

Both organisations, she noted, play a pivotal role in advancing the use of innovative solutions to grow and sustain the local business community.
“It will benefit greatly small and medium businesses. I like to see, as a government, when the private sector is stepping up to the plate and contributing tangibly to the development of small and medium enterprises in our country.
“This partnership with the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry and GTT Business Solutions exemplifies the type of effort that is needed to complement the government’s efforts towards a developing and enabling climate for small and medium enterprises,” Minister Walrond stated.
She reminded that small and medium businesses are the engine of the private sector.
