00:00Chief Executive Officer of the Private Sector Organization of Trinidad and Tobago, Rudolf
00:06Hanamji, tells the Morning Edition the framework is designed to bring the wider business community
00:11together around a shared vision for growth, development and regional expansion. He says
00:18this level of collaboration is unprecedented and is encouraging more organizations to get
00:24involved.
00:26Chief Executive Officer of the Private Sector Organization of Trinidad and Tobago did not
00:30exist for the last 15 years. It is the first time in Trinidad and Tobago's history that
00:35so many business interests and the public sector are aligning and co-creating models. When the
00:42private sector really digs its heels in, things get done.
00:46The organization is also seeking to build support for local businesses, import, export and the
00:53use of technology and to encourage greater demand for locally produced goods.
00:58We are going to promote the national investment framework so they can come out to those events
01:02and for the Global Entrepreneurship Week this year from the 16th to the 22nd.
01:08Right.
01:09We are hosting seven days of activities. Everything from Micro Monday, Transformation Tuesday deals
01:15with AI and technology, We Ting Wednesday, Ting, yes Ting, T-I-N-G, all about buy local, import, export
01:23and we are looking at Tobago Thursday and financing Friday.
01:28Hanamji tells us tourism is another major priority.
01:33We are undertaking Marlin for the first time to actually develop the plans for the country.
01:38So they are coming out of the private sector. We will do all of the heavy lifting with input from
01:42the government.
01:43And this tourism investment conference, we are sort of playing with the words TT, tourism today, because tourism must be
01:51looked at today, not tomorrow, will allow that strategic plan to be developed with a true private public co-creation
02:02model.
