The Workshop, titled, “Promoting and Improving SME Competitiveness and Productivity in the Caribbean” will bring together more than 50 high-level government officials, private sector organizations and academics from all CARICOM countries and the Dominican Republic to discuss support programs for SMEs, a priority sector for countries in the region.
