TIC 2026 for CARICOM Buyers
Hosted-buyer programme, regional matchmaking blocks, and how CARICOM importers get the highest-leverage sourcing outcome from three days in Trinidad.
The hosted-buyer programme
TTMA covers accommodation and select transfers for qualified international buyers. Apply early with company profile, sourcing categories, and travel window.
Sourcing intra-CARICOM
Trinidad's manufacturing base — food & beverage, agri-processing, chemicals, and packaging — is the region's most vertically integrated. Regional buyers who source here often consolidate multiple supplier categories.
Meeting-density playbook
Pre-source on TradeAtlas, batch introductions in TIC's matchmaking blocks, and reserve Day 3 for factory visits or extended supplier conversations.
