The Ministry of Economic Affairs, Entrepreneurship, and Technological Innovation (EZOTI) in Suriname has officially unveiled its new digital platform, financieringswijzer.sr. Designed to assist entrepreneurs and startups, the platform aims to streamline the process of identifying funding opportunities from banks, funds, and investment programs. The launch event took place in the ballroom of the Lallarookh Building, marking a significant step toward enhancing the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the country. The platform serves as a centralized portal, enabling users to systematically explore available financial instruments tailored to their specific needs. According to EZOTI, this initiative addresses a critical barrier: the lack of accessible information on securing funding. Karishma Mathoera, Director of Entrepreneurship, emphasized the platform’s role in fostering sustainable economic growth, stating, ‘This platform makes a tangible contribution to strengthening Suriname’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.’ Entrepreneurs like Wensley Perea, CEO of AMEA Cashew & Pineapple Industry, shared their experiences in navigating funding challenges within the agricultural value chain. Ifeyinwha Bonheur, Senior Private Sector Specialist at the World Bank, highlighted the importance of collaboration among government, banks, and investors to improve access to capital for local businesses. Minister Andrew Baasaron, who officiated the launch, reiterated the government’s commitment to promoting entrepreneurship and creating sustainable employment. He noted that financieringswijzer.sr enhances transparency and equal opportunities for entrepreneurs across all districts.
