From Investment Promotion to Investment Realization for IPA’s
Your investment opportunities deserve to become investments.
Investment Promotion Agencies play a crucial role in attracting foreign investment, promoting national priorities and connecting countries with international investors.
Yet identifying investment opportunities and generating investor interest are only the first steps. The challenge is moving projects from promotion to investment readiness, financing and implementation.
The investment challenge
Caribbean economies attracted US$18 billion in foreign investment in 2025, excluding offshore financial centres. However, nearly 90% of these inflows went to just three countries: Guyana, the Dominican Republic and Suriname. (UNCTAD, Caribbean Investment Report 2026).
This concentration highlights the importance of developing broader investment pipelines and strengthening the ability of countries to convert their opportunities into viable projects.
How CGG supports IPAs
We complement the work of Investment Promotion Agencies by providing project development and investment advisory support.
- Investment pipeline assessment: Review selected investment opportunities and identify their commercial and financing readiness.
- Project preparation: Identify gaps in feasibility studies, documentation, permits, infrastructure requirements and risk mitigation.
- Financial structuring: Explore appropriate financing options, including equity, debt, PPPs and blended finance.
- Investor targeting: Identify potential investors and financing institutions aligned with project requirements.
- Investment facilitation: Support engagement between project sponsors, government stakeholders and prospective capital providers.
A practical starting point
We propose an Investment Pipeline Assessment involving two or three priority projects.
Together, we assess their investment readiness, financing requirements and potential capital pathways, resulting in a practical roadmap towards investor engagement.
Your agency promotes the opportunities. CGG helps develop the pathways to realize them.
