GUBA Enterprise visits the Caribbean to explore opportunities

GUBA Enterprise has announced the successful completion of the GUBA Ghana Business Trade Tour of the Caribbean. The tour is a pioneering mission aimed at bridging the gap between African companies and potential trading partners in the Caribbean.

This strategic initiative aims to promote bilateral business opportunities and strengthen economic and cultural ties between the two regions.

The tour featured a distinguished delegation including notable Ghanaian business leader Dr. Daniel McKorley, chairman of the McDan Group; Nii Oku, CEO of Gold Coast Developers; FinTech and AI investor Philip Gamey; the Deputy CEO of the Ghana Tourism Authority, Ben Anane Nsiah, NFL Cleveland Browns player Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah; and Joy Business editor George Wiafe.

These leading figures spearheaded efforts to explore and establish business partnerships between the Ghanaian private sector and the Caribbean islands of Grenada, St. Lucia and Anguilla.

The participation of Dr. McKorley underscored the importance of fostering robust commercial relationships that can drive mutual growth and development. “During the meeting with the Grenadian Prime Minister, Mr. Dickson Mitchell, I discussed the benefits of a united Africa in international trade and its potential to strengthen the continent’s attractiveness as a global trading partner,” said Dr. McKorley.

During the tour, the delegation organized several high-level meetings with various ministries, facilitating in-depth discussions on potential business ventures and economic partnerships. These commitments were further highlighted by meetings with the Prime Ministers of Grenada and Anguilla, where the dialogue focused on strategic partnerships that could benefit both regions.

In addition to these important private sector meetings, the delegation was accompanied by the Deputy CEO of the Ghana Tourism Authority in Anguilla. This collaboration was aimed at exploring opportunities for tourism exchange and developing comprehensive tour packages that promote intercultural experiences between Ghana and Anguilla.

Prime Minister of Anguilla, Ellis Webster, commended the initiative, saying: “The glue that holds this together is Lady Dentaa of GUBA. She showed me Ghana from a different perspective and she showed me what Ghanaians are made of. It gave me a feeling of home and I want to bring that love that I saw and felt there to Anguilla, because they thought they had defeated us. We have found our way back to each other. We have a common origin, we have a common mission.”

The GUBA Ghana Business Trade Tour has set the stage for a new era of collaboration and partnerships between Africa and the Caribbean. GUBA Enterprise remains committed to continuing its mission to create impactful connections and promote sustainable economic growth across all continents.
