Guyana opens first global gateway EU–Guyana investment mission in Paris

The first Global Gateway EU–Guyana Investment Mission to Europe opened in Paris with a high-level reception in the King’s Room of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, marking a significant step in strengthening economic ties between Guyana and the European Union.

The mission, led by the Guyana Office for Investment (GoInvest), brings together government officials and private-sector representatives as they meet with European partners across four EU countries.

On the opening day, Chief Investment Officer and Agency Head, Hon. Peter R. Ramsaroop, MP, and Senior Director of Investment, John Edghill, joined Guyanese business representatives for engagements with leading French companies in logistics, ports, agro-processing, and finance.

The discussions focused on identifying new investment opportunities and expanding Guyana’s international partnerships.

In a social media post, the Guyana Office for Investment said it “is proud to be part of the first Global Gateway EU-Guyana Investment Mission to Europe.”

The initiative forms part of continued cooperation under the EU’s Global Gateway strategy and underscores the deepening partnership between Guyana and the European Union.

Officials say the investment mission is aimed at advancing transformative investments that support Guyana’s rapidly growing economy while expanding opportunities for European firms in emerging sectors.

According to mission organizers, the delegation will continue its outbound engagement in the coming days as it moves through four EU member states, building on the momentum of the Paris launch.

This marks a strengthened partnership as the EU and Guyana work together to advance transformative investment opportunities.
