In a bid to capitalize on Guyana’s unprecedented economic growth, the World Trade Center Georgetown (WTCG) has called upon entrepreneurs to adopt a forward-thinking approach rooted in local development, global outreach, and resilience. This message was delivered by WTCG Executive Director Wesley Kirton during GrowthCLUB #41, a quarterly training session organized by Action COACH and supported by WTCG, Demerara Bank Limited (DBL), and the Institute for Private Enterprise Development (IPED). The event, attended by over 100 entrepreneurs, emphasized the Center’s dedication to bolstering micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) through strategic training and global networking opportunities. Kirton highlighted the extensive reach of the WTC network, which comprises over 300 centers and more than one million companies worldwide, enabling businesses to expand their trade horizons. He also announced the formal launch of WTC Georgetown, scheduled for October 19–23, 2025, featuring seminars on trade show preparation, financing, and international trade trends. Kirton urged entrepreneurs to embrace three core principles: building locally to meet community needs, thinking globally to leverage digital opportunities, and leading with resilience to overcome challenges. He concluded with a rallying cry for Guyana’s entrepreneurs to create sustainable, future-ready businesses that drive innovation and economic growth.
