Taiwan donates US$40 000 to support Everything Vincy Expo 2022

The Government of the Republic of China (Taiwan) has provided financial support to Invest SVG for their hosting of the Everything Vincy Expo later this month.

Last week Monday, October 3 Ambassador Peter Sha-Li Lan presented a cheque for US$40,000 to executive director of Invest SVG, Annette Mark and other members of staff at the Embassy of Taiwan in Kingstown.

A release from Invest SVG said this generous gift was made possible by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan), which has been supporting the expo since 2018.

The release added that this is a clear demonstration of the strong commitment of Taiwan to the work of Invest SVG and concern for the well-being and the growth and development of the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

The Everything Vincy Expo 2022 will be held from October 24-28 at the Geest Cargo Terminal and will be open to the public from 10:00 a.m-10:00 p.m each day. Invest SVG says there is no entrance fee to enter the Expo site, but there will be a nominal charge to enter the events taking place every night on the ‘Volcano Stage’, the largest of three stages at this year’s Expo. There will be two secondary stages called the ‘Sun’ and ‘Moon’ respectively. Some 120 exhibitors are expected to participate in this year’s event.

One of the primary objectives of the Expo is to ascertain new entrants into the Vincentian market and to determine what other levels of assistance are required to support Vincentian innovators and entrepreneurs, to bring them to export-readiness. It is anticipated that attendance at the Expo will provide the exhibitors with product development opportunities as well as the transformational growth required to derive further impetus.

Invest SVG has extended thanks to the Republic of China (Taiwan) for the generous assistance and continued support of the development of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
