The Dominica Association of Industry and Commerce (DAIC) is gearing up for its pivotal 2026 Annual General Meeting, strategically designed to equip the private sector with insights into emerging national development prospects. Scheduled for Thursday, April 9th at the Saint Alphonsus Parish Hall with a 1:00 p.m. start, this gathering holds particular significance due to its focus on capitalizing on opportunities linked to Dominica’s transformative international airport construction.
A highlight of the Open Session will feature Samuel Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of the International Airport Development Company (IADC), delivering a comprehensive keynote address. His 45-minute presentation will detail specific business opportunities arising from this landmark infrastructure project, followed by an interactive Q&A segment designed to provide practical insights for attendees.
The event is expected to attract prominent business leaders, policy makers, and diverse stakeholders seeking to understand how the private sector can actively participate in and benefit from Dominica’s expanding development landscape. Organizers anticipate the discussions will foster enhanced collaboration and strategic alignment across various industry sectors.
Following the public session, DAIC members will convene a closed meeting to address internal statutory matters pertaining to the association’s governance and operations.
Established fifty years ago, the DAIC represents a wide spectrum of industries and maintains its offices at Unit L3 1&2, Prevost Cinemall in Roseau. As a member of the Caribbean Chambers of Commerce (CARICHAM), the organization reaffirms its commitment to serving as the primary advocate for the private sector and a crucial partner in national development initiatives. The association expresses strong optimism regarding participation from its membership and the broader business community.
