Welcome to our Website

A message from our President: Maarten Spiljard

The European Business Chamber in Trinidad and Tobago (EUROCHAMTT) is a non-profit organisation active in Trinidad and Tobago since 2013, promoting and supporting European business in Trinidad and Tobago. As well as supporting Trinidad and Tobago businesses and professionals seeking to gain access to European partners and exploring opportunities for doing more business with Europe. We are a membership driven organisation with members from a variety of sectors.

Trinidad and Tobago finds itself in a rapidly changing environment. The global shift in the energy market is driving the need for rapid market diversification, and digitalisation is at the forefront of the way business will be conducted. This drive for diversification and innovation presents great opportunities for European businesses. EUROCHAMTT is supporting our members to connect to these opportunities and help resolve challenges through our advocacy and trade support. We have, over the last years, supported our members with a variety of efforts to smoothen market entry, increase the ease of doing business, and look forward to continuing this effort with our members over the coming years.

Climate action has a prominent place within the business of many of our members and is high on the EU and global agenda. We expect that we will see continued growth within the chamber around this topic in the form of seminars and NGO events and market entry of new members.

We believe in the strength of partnerships. EUROCHAMTT is therefore a member of the Belgium based European Business Organisation Worldwide Network, which is the voice of European business in third markets. We are further strengthened by the endorsement by the Delegation of the European Union in Trinidad and Tobago, which officially represents the European Union in Trinidad & Tobago. This enables us to strengthen our advocacy efforts but also gives our members an insight and access to the development programs, funding and tools that are made available through the diplomatic missions.

This website gives an overview of our members, events and news and updates around advocacy and trade support and climate action initiatives. We welcome you to further explore the information provided and invite you to get in touch with us for more information and look forward to welcoming those that are not yet connected as a member.

Our Pillars

ADVOCACY

EUROCHAMTT is committed to identifying issues that affect our diverse membership so that we can effectively advocate for their business interests. We do this by monitoring the changing policy, legislative and regulatory environment, and the impact this has on the ease of doing business, and market access to Trinidad and Tobago.

TRADE

For our members and local companies keen to explore the viability of exporting to Europe, we connect them with our network in Europe. EUROCHAMTT supports European companies including non-members (exporters, importers and investors) to explore the viability of entering the Trinidad and Tobago market.

CLIMATE ACTION

Climate change is a global phenomenon and we all need to take climate action to promote sustainable development. We work with our members and partners to organise, implement or participate in special projects promoting climate action and ultimately the application of clean technologies in business.

Membership

EUROCHAMTT is an initiative of European and Trinidad and Tobago business persons, driven by the desire for stronger linkages, greater visibility of successful European/Trinidad and Tobago partnerships, better market access, and opportunities provided by the CARIFORUM-EU Economic Partnership Agreement.

We are a non-profit, membership driven organisation. Our membership includes individual consultants, SME’s, and multinational companies from a wide range of industries. These include tourism, food and beverage, language consultancy, agriculture, recycling, energy logistics, freight forwarding, industrial gases, publishing, communications, and much more.
