Montego Bay will take centre stage as a hub of opportunity and innovation when the Caribbean Investment Forum (CIF) 2025 opens its doors from July 29 to July 31, 2025 at the Montego Bay Convention Centre. Under the theme “SMART. GREEN. CONNECTED.” the forum will bring together a dynamic mix of investors, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and development partners to unlock new opportunities in priority sectors such as green economy transition, digitalisation, sustainable agriculture, and logistics. Among the strategic partners championing this agenda is the European Union (EU), whose longstanding development cooperation and strategic investments have long supported private sector growth and sustainable development across the Caribbean.
Under the banner of the European Union’s Global Gateway Programme — its flagship initiative for strengthening international partnerships – the Regional Private Sector Development Programme III (RPSDP III) stands as one of the most recent and significant EU-backed initiatives supporting the Caribbean’s economic transformation. The four-year initiative aims to strengthen the competitiveness and resilience of the Caribbean’s private sector in a sustainable way by addressing critical challenges and promoting economic growth, the EU said in a press release.
