Atlantic Canadian businesses have been successfully participating in the Caribbean Renewable Energy Forum (CREF) for over a decade. In fall of 2022 a successful trade mission was organized to CREF where 8 companies participated.

We are expecting that these sectors will be represented again among the delegates for this year.
