NOT A SHARK TANK BUT A PIRANHA PITCH 😁?

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
