PRESIDENT of Jamaica Promotions Corporation (Jampro) Diane Edwards says that her agency is promoting several bankable logistics investment projects that will boost the development of Jamaica’s economy.

Edwards made the comments while discussing Jamaican investment opportunities at the AICE 2022 conference in Montego Bay, which is being hosted by the World Free Zones Organization and the Jamaica Special Economic Zone Authority (JSEZA). The Ministry of Industry, Investment, and Commerce has strongly supported the event, which has attracted many international and local investors.

Jampro is highlighting several projects at AICE 2022 for investment, including the Caymanas Special Economic Zone and the Vernamfield Aerotropolis. Edwards explained that the agency sees logistics as the future of Jamaica’s economy, and it is focused on securing investors who are ready to do business in the sector.

She said, “Strengthening and diversifying the logistics sector will transform Jamaica; it is therefore critical for Jampro to participate in fora such as this one to engage investors who are looking at the island as a potential destination for their next venture. We believe that Jamaica is the best location to invest, so Jampro is committed to working with our private and public sector partners to see more logistics projects coming to fruition.”
