GRENADA – The Grenada Chamber of Industry and Commerce (GCIC) celebrated the nation’s most dynamic enterprises at its 32nd Annual Business Awards Ceremony on December 6, 2025. Held at the Radisson Beach Resort in Grand Anse under the theme “From Vision to Impact: Growing Sustainably Together,” the event gathered over 200 leaders from private sector, government, and civil society to honor businesses driving economic resilience through innovation and sustainability.
Keynote speaker Bevil Wooding, Executive Director of the Caribbean Agency for Justice Solutions and renowned technology innovator, framed the awards within the broader challenges facing small island economies. “These awardees demonstrate that innovation, sustainability, and community impact are not optional extras—they are the foundation of long-term business success,” Wooding emphasized, noting how Grenadian businesses are redefining excellence while balancing global competitiveness with local value creation.
GCIC President Collin Francis articulated the strategic vision behind this year’s theme: “Innovation without sustainability is short-lived. Sustainability without innovation leads to stagnation. Together, they point the way to business growth that creates jobs, protects our environment, and builds long-term prosperity for families across Grenada.”
The awards ceremony highlighted a significant shift toward enterprises that successfully merge commercial performance with environmental stewardship, skills development, and community impact. Winners spanned diverse sectors including agriculture, tourism, ICT, marine conservation, and education, reflecting Grenada’s comprehensive approach to sustainable development.
Petipha Lewis, GCIC Executive Director, emphasized the significance of this year’s recipients: “The quality and range of businesses recognized underscore the strength and resilience of Grenada’s private sector, particularly our MSMEs. These enterprises are creating opportunities, embracing technology, safeguarding our environment, and strengthening communities.”
