Once again, MTI has partnered with the Trinidad and Tobago Manufacturers’ Association (TTMA) to host the 11th Trade and Investment Convention (TIC). This is the tenth year that MTI has been working with TTMA to organize this important convention that attracts exhibitors, buyers and distributors from over 35 countries across the globe. The launch of TIC 2010 was held at the end of January at Jaffa Restaurant in the Queen’s Park Oval with Trade and Industry Minister Mariano Browne delivering the feature address.
TIC 2010 will take place at the Hyatt Regency Hotel from May 19th to 22nd 2010. MTI will once again have its own booth at TIC, and there will be a special arrangement this year for the participation of the Seven Sectors - Yachting, Merchant Marine, Food and Beverage, Film, Music and Entertainment, Printing and Packaging and Fish and Fish Processing.
Over the past few months, various MTI staff members have been working with members of the relevant sectors to prepare for this Convention to ensure that this year is once again a success. In fact, both Carol Bickram and Videsh Maharaj of MTI are on the TTMA’s TIC 2010 Committee. MTI is committed to ensuring that all presentations are as attractive as possible and has been liaising with the relevant industry teams and companies to coordinate the various booth structures, to ensure that each of the Seven Sectors will be able to retain some level of individuality.
During his address at the TIC 2010 Launch, Minister Browne emphasized the importance of TIC 2010 now more than ever stating that ‘activities such as TIC are especially critical in times of economic slowdown, when business needs to reassert itself to continue driving investment and commercial activity.’ He expressed MTI’s willingness to continue partnering with business in promoting trade and investment through exercises such as TIC and also stressed the need for businesses to take advantage of the opportunities created through policy initiatives set up by the Government.
