Suriname is rapidly positioning itself as one of the most compelling new destinations for international investment in the Western Hemisphere, closely aligned with the growth trajectory of neighboring Guyana. Supported by abundant natural resources, improving infrastructure, and a clear focus on economic diversification, the country is entering a new phase of industrial development—one defined by value creation, job growth, and long-term prosperity.
The International Business Conference (IBC) was established to play a catalytic role in this transformation. More than a conference, IBC is a trusted, private sector–led platform designed to channel sustainable investment into high-impact sectors while unlocking real, commercially viable opportunities across Suriname and Guyana.
The International Business Conference delivers three days of high-impact content designed for senior executives, investors, and policymakers seeking a deeper understanding of the Suriname–Guyana economic corridor.
Under the 2026 theme,
“From Energy to Industry: Investing in the Suriname–Guyana Value Chain,” the programme explores how energy revenues and infrastructure investments are accelerating growth across manufacturing, services, logistics, agriculture, and exports.
Beyond the Main Sessions IBC 2026 offers curated workshops, executive roundtables, and closed-door discussions focused on specific industries and business challenges. These interactive formats are designed to deliver practical insights and actionable outcomes.
