The Government of Quintana Roo through its Ministry of Economic Development hosted and invited The Belize Trade and Investment Development Service (BELTRAIDE) to coordinate Belize’s participation at “Semana Regional Pyme Sur Sureste” for the entrepreneurial development of Micro, Small, and Medium Sized Enterprises (MSMEs).  The event was held from October 17-19, 2012, at the International Business and Convention Center, Chetumal, Quintana Roo. A total of 4 booths (with dimensions 2 meters by 2 meters) were endowed to Belize.

The Belize Pavilion was represented by BELTRAIDE, The Belize Tourism Board, Marie Sharp Fine Foods Ltd., Bel-Car Export and Import Company Ltd, and Cuello’s Distillery Ltd.  Hundreds of Visitors visited Belize’s pavilion throughout the three days. The representatives of the participating companies indicated that the event was gratifying and enabled them to generate leads and potential new customers for the exportation of their products. Other opportunities for the participants included business meetings with Soriana Inc. Chedraui, and Walmart. Marie Sharp Fine Foods Ltd., also, had the opportunity to meet with PROMEXCIO, the Institution responsible for promotion of investment in Mexico to discuss the challenges/problems/Issues that they have identified in the process of entering the Mexican Market.  As a final analysis, all the representatives of Belize indicated that they would definitely attend a similar event, and that most of their established objectives for attending were successfully met.
