US veterans trade mission visits St Kitts and Nevis
Fifteen veteran business owners and prospective investors are exploring opportunities in energy, agriculture, tourism and the digital economy.
BASSETERRE, St Kitts. A 15-member delegation of US military veteran business owners and prospective investors is visiting St Kitts and Nevis this week to explore investment and partnership opportunities on both islands.
The programme, running from 2 to 6 November, grew out of an expression of interest made to the Embassy of St Kitts and Nevis in Washington, DC. The embassy brought in the relevant ministries and agencies to build a coordinated schedule.
The Ministry of Trade and Economic Investment, led by Permanent Secretary Adina Richards, coordinated the visit, with support from the St Kitts Investment Promotion Agency and the Nevis Investment Promotion Agency.
The delegation is looking at renewable energy, agriculture and agro-processing, sustainable tourism, the digital and creative economies, resilient infrastructure, and health and wellness.
"The promise of this mission lies in the relationships we build," said Ambassador to the United States Jacinth Henry-Martin.
