St Kitts – Nevis businesses to gain essential tools at Caribbean Export’s Green Business Strategies Training

  • Green Business Practices training will take place in St Kitts and Nevis from November 19-21, 2024
  • Businesses will receive training on implementing energy-efficient and sustainable practices
  • The training session is part of the Building Resilient Economies series

BARBADOS / ST KITTS – Businesses across Saint Kitts and Nevis are set to gain valuable insights at the ‘Enhancing MSME Competitiveness with Green Business Practices’ capacity-building training, scheduled for November 19 – 21, 2024.

This opportunity, part of the Building Resilient Economies; Empowering CARIFORUM MSMEs through Capacity Building and Green Business Strategies series, developed by the Caribbean Export Development Agency, with support from the European Union, is offered in collaboration with the St Kitts Investment Promotion Agency and the St Kitts – Nevis Chamber of Industry and Commerce.

The training will help firms tackle rising energy costs and boost their competitiveness; equip companies with the tools and knowledge to implement sustainable, green business practices.

By focusing on practical applications, the workshop aims to empower businesses to operate more efficiently, adopt energy-efficient strategies, and leverage renewable energy technologies. This approach will help reduce operational costs and enhance overall competitiveness while contributing to a greener future.

“As the region pivots towards a green economy, it is essential that our private sector remains competitive on the global stage. This capacity building series is a vital step in that direction, providing MSMEs with the resources and technical knowledge to transition to greener, more sustainable practices,” said Natasha Edwin-Walcott, manager (Ag) at Caribbean Export.

The series aligns with the region’s strategic priorities of promoting economic and environmental sustainability and is part of a broader effort to foster a more resilient, sustainable, and competitive CARIFORUM private sector by reducing energy dependency, supporting climate resilience, and improving energy security.

The series will be hosted across several member states, with the first activity already successfully executed in Jamaica early October, with positive feedback from participating businesses. The St Kitts intervention will continue this momentum, offering customized training modules, practical and hands-on activities, and access to leading experts in renewable energy and energy efficiency.
