Enlightening Visit to Amcham Suriname by Mr. Dilawar Syed, State Department Special Representative for Commercial and Business Affairs, Emphasizing the Significance of Trusted Partners in Technology, IT, Data Storage, and Telecommunications, and Intellectual Property Protection for U.S. Companies Interested in Investing in Suriname!

Amcham Suriname is thrilled to announce that we had the privilege of hosting Mr. Dilawar Syed, the esteemed State Department Special Representative for Commercial and Business Affairs, earlier today. This visit proved to be an invaluable opportunity to emphasize the crucial role of choosing reputable and trustworthy partners in technology, IT, data storage, and telecommunications, as well as the significance of robust intellectual property protection for U.S. companies seeking to invest in Suriname and collaborate with Surinamese enterprises.

The US Embassy and AmCham Suriname are pleased to offer our friends and members the opportunity to present their business projects to the representative of DFC (www.dfc.gov).

Dear all,

We are delighted to share that Amcham Suriname is currently actively engaged in preparing for an upcoming "Piranha Pitch" (not a Shark Tank 😉)on the 6th of June.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the team at the US Embassy in Suriname and the Development Finance Corporation (DFC) USA for including us in this endeavor. It is an incredible opportunity to be part of a journey aimed at fostering sustainable entrepreneurship and enhancing the ease of doing business in Suriname. Through the creation of additional financing options for Surinamese companies, we aspire to drive economic growth and prosperity in our nation.

Stay tuned for more updates as we progress further!

Best regards,
Amcham Suriname
