iloveTT project

InvestTT, the country’s national investment promotion agency, launched the iloveTT project as a platform for collaborating with the diaspora on social and economic development ventures outside the energy sector. In order to build the agency’s database of potential diaspora investors and better target their engagement strategy, InvestTT’s website hosts a survey where diaspora members can specify their areas of expertise and interest in supporting Trinidad and Tobago, whether it be as an advisor, mentor, brand promotor, investor, entrepreneur, or consumer. InvestTT highlights the Trinidad and Tobago Fine Cocoa Company (TTFCC) as an example of successful diaspora investment. InvestTT played a central role in TTFCC’s start-up operations and the company continues to receive guidance today, even as an award-winning chocolate manufacturer.
