European Study Tour
As a precursor to London Engage,
Caribbean Export also facilitated the
participation of 22 firms in the Cultural
Industries on a European Study Tour
to France, Germany and the United
Kingdom
(Figure 7)
. The objective of
the Study Tour was to enhance dialogue
between European and Caribbean
business leaders, and impact the
business and investment reform agenda
in the CARIFORUM region, as well as
to help the Caribbean reap the benefits
of the CARIFORUM-EU EPA. As such,
the Study Tours sought to expose
participants to European markets while
inculcating a greater understanding of
the provisions of the CARIFORUM-EU
EPA, which would facilitate regional
firms’ pursuit of business opportunities
in these markets.
