Business Social

This week Business Social shares highlights from a series of activities held by the Jamaica Business Development Corporation (JBDC) during its recent hosting of a delegation from The Bahamas.

The group, comprising members of Bahamas’ Access Accelerator, Small Business Development Centre (SBDC) along with other members of its Trade Commission, Senate and Chamber of Commerce, met up with local stakeholders during a number of planned activities held at the JBDC’s South Camp Road offices and Incubator and Resource Centre along Marcus Garvey Drive in Kingston.

The activities in fostering collaboration also allowed for the sharing of best practices across groups while strengthening partnerships. This while the countries move to promote and enhance entrepreneurship, support the growth of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and drive the development of robust and resilient economies.

From left: Melissa Barrett, manager of business advisory services at the JBDC; Valerie Veira, CEO of JBDC; and Harold Davis, deputy CEO of JBDC, enjoy the introductory discussions with the group of delegates from The Bahamas.
