Three local participants: Jessie-Ann Jessamy of Nutmeg Design Company Ltd who specializes in Textile Design and Screen Printing; Edith Isaac of Digital Connections, an animation, video and audio start-up Company with a primary focus on developing education through animation; and Wayne Green, a recording engineer and artist manager/director for copyright in Grenada are in Trinidad for a workshop aimed at bolstering their competitiveness.
The workshop is made possible by Caribbean Export, in conjunction with GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH) and Trinidad and Tobago Coalition of Service Industries (TTCIS).
Twenty business entities from the CARIFORUM region are focusing on fashion, music and animation at the workshop which runs from March 27 to 28 and will address areas such as export readiness, product development, creating a unique value proposition, branding and marketing, pricing, quality and standards, intellectual property, opportunities under the EPA, and an introduction to export planning (SGG overview)
According to Jude Bernard, Chairman of the Grenada Coalition of Services Industries (GCS), “We are delighted to have secured the participation of 3 these individuals in this very valuable workshop, just 1 week after successfully hosting our third annual Services Go Global program for 10 other local service producers, equipping them with a “road map” for exporting their services globally.”
The Grenada Coalition of Service Industries will expand on export planning by hosting the full SGG training (Services Go Global) program from March 18th-22nd 2019 at the Grenada Youth Center. This emphasises their continued efforts to build the export capabilities of Grenadian service providers and producers.
The GCSI is delighted to work with SMMEs to enhance their capacity as they continue to compete on the regional market. Thus, the GCSI looks forward to continually working to aid service providers and producers in fulfilling their dreams, and aspirations.
