By alternating its host country, IBC strengthens bilateral cooperation while positioning Suriname and Guyana as a unified and compelling investment destination. The conference attracts senior participants from the Caribbean, Latin America, North America, Europe, and beyond—creating a truly international marketplace for capital, ideas, and collaboration.
IBC 2026 will focus on the critical transition from energy development to industrial expansion, exploring how policy alignment, infrastructure investment, and private sector capability can unlock long-term value across regional supply chains. Through strategic content, curated networking, and targeted business matching, the conference plays a pivotal role in shaping the next phase of economic growth for the region.
