History of GuyExpo

“GuyExpo, a storied tradition since its inception in 1995, has been the hallmark event showcasing Guyana’s culture and economic potential.”

GuyExpo – Guyana’s largest trade and investment exposition began in 1995 and was held annually between 2004-2016. This event, which showcases locally produced goods and services, is now the longest-sustained exhibition in the Caribbean.

From November 2023, GuyExpo returns as an annual event coordinated by the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce. This exposition and trade fair features local and regional businesses and allows business associates to meet, network, negotiate with international companies, and showcase their skills, talents, and creative works. It fuses a wide cross-section of producers of handicrafts, furniture, garments, jewellery, horticulture, pharmaceuticals, tourism, information technology, and our culture. For the thousands of patrons who visit the booths, it is an opportunity to experience the wide range of locally produced products and services.

GuyExpo is a partnership among the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, GO- INVEST and the private sector. It is an ideal setting that allows businesses to increase their competitiveness and efficiency and foster growth.
