This event forms part of the celebrations of Saint Lucia’s 45 Anniversary of Independence. Normal operations will resume on Sunday, February 18, 2024. The Business Expo will be held on the 16th and 17th 2024.

Expanding on the success of the inaugural showcase, this year's event is poised to be even more spectacular, boasting a lineup of 90 local exhibitors—a substantial increase from the previous year. These businesses, spanning diverse sectors, will present a wide array of offerings, ranging from handmade crafts to wellness products.

“We are thrilled to announce the return of the National Business Expo, a platform that celebrates the richness of Saint Lucian entrepreneurship. This event is not only a showcase of our vibrant business community but also an opportunity for local businesses to connect with a broader market,” said Export Saint Lucia CEO Sunita Daniel.

She says the Independence 45 edition promises a distinctive experience. This year, the expo will innovate with a village-style setup, featuring designated areas for Manufacturing, Health and Wellness, Creatives, and Services.

The expansion of the Business Expo will feature beneficiaries of the Prime Minister’s brainchild, the Youth Economy Agency, the MSME Grant- Loan Facility and Clients of Export Saint Lucia.

Additionally, a dynamic cadre of both young and experienced artists will grace the stage with live performances, bringing a vibrant blend of talent and creativity to the event.
