The 2025 Trade and Investment Convention (TIC) is set to open as the largest and most internationally focused edition of the expo to date, featuring 330 booths, exhibitors from 15 countries, and buyers from 27 markets at the Centre of Excellence in Macoya.
This year’s TIC begins tomorrow and ends on Saturday. Since its inception in 1999, TIC has facilitated more than US$1 billion in trade, according to Trinidad and Tobago Manufacturers’ Association (TTMA) president Dale Parson.
Speaking on the goals of TIC he said, “The main goal of TIC is to bring international buyers to meet local manufacturers, to have B2B meetings so that they can develop relationships for international trade. A big part of the outcome we want is to grow our non-energy foreign exchange earnings from strictly local manufactured goods.”
