Why does CIF matter?

Because the Caribbean has the ideas, the talent and the opportunities — but progress moves faster when the right people connect.

CIF 2026 creates space for investors, entrepreneurs, policymakers and business leaders to align around the sectors shaping the region’s future.

It is more than a forum.
It is where conversations become partnerships, and partnerships move opportunity into action.

Three days. Practical tools. Stronger, finance-ready MSMEs!

Caribbean Export has successfully concluded the OECS MSME Finance Readiness Programme in Dominica, held from September 1–3, 2026, at the Fort Young Hotel in Roseau.

Over the three-day activity, participating MSMEs strengthened their understanding of what it takes to become finance-ready, gaining practical insights into accounting practices, financial statements, cash flow, financial ratios and the different financing options available to support business growth. Participants also engaged directly with financial institutions to better understand what lenders look for when assessing businesses for financing.

From identifying financial gaps to developing actionable steps towards greater financial readiness, the programme equipped entrepreneurs with knowledge and tools to make stronger financial decisions and improve their ability to access the capital needed to grow.

Caribbean Export remains committed to strengthening the capacity and competitiveness of Caribbean MSMEs and connecting businesses with opportunities for sustainable growth.

A special thank you to our partners, facilitators, participating financial institutions and, most importantly, the entrepreneurs who made the three days a success.
