THE ANNUAL CARIBBEAN MULTINATIONAL BUSINESS CONFERENCE “ FROM POTENTIAL TO POWER ”

The Caribbean Multinational Business Conference (CMBC) is the most influential meeting of its kind, creating opportunities for commercial linkages between the United States and the Caribbean in areas of common economic interest.

In today's a global economy, the value and importance of the Conference are increasingly evident. The trending demographics, trade, technology, geopolitics and evolving financial markets are ripe for new business ventures throughout the Caribbean. Overseas markets generate 75 percent of the world’s gross domestic product. China, India and Brazil have been the biggest beneficiaries heretofore. But doing business in those countries is becoming increasingly costly, and many U.S. corporations are looking for new markets.

Logistically, and given their English-speaking populations, a number of proactive Caribbean countries are positioning themselves as first-choice nations among emerging markets in North, Central and South America as well as Africa. A strategic alliance between entrepreneurs and enterprises in urban and emerging markets of the U.S. and the developing economies of the Caribbean, Latin America and Africa will be key to any real growth in the Western Hemisphere.

There's no dearth of areas of common interest, common problems, creative solutions and collaborative opportunities, from health care to hair care to food and fashion to education, communication, technology and entertainment. This market and the need for products and services are huge. The Caribbean Multinational Business Conference identifies and links businesses with these opportunities. Over the past fifteen years, the CMBC has cultivated vital connections in the Caribbean and Latin America and has brokered relationships for numerous organizations and enterprises. Opportunities abound.

The Mission

It is the mission of the Conference to bring together businesses, communities and leaders at all levels interested in understanding the economic opportunities developing in the Caribbean and Latin American marketplaces and to link the economic power and potential of emerging markets in the U.S. with opportunities in the developing economies of the Caribbean and Latin America.

Participation

Convened annually in one of these emerging markets, the conference offers a dynamic and energized experience from which participants can expect results. These meetings have cultivated business-friendly regional policies and accounted for partnerships, new projects, joint ventures and investments of more than three billion dollars.
