WHAT WE DO
How GNATA helps businesses trade both ways
We track opportunities, make introductions, and explain the rules for businesses moving in both directions: North American companies working in Guyana, and Guyanese companies selling to the United States and Canada.
OPPORTUNITIES
Contract opportunities
Every week we scan tenders, procurement notices and project news from Guyana and flag the ones that fit North American firms. Members get them in the weekly Business Brief.
PARTNERS
Local partners
Guyana's Local Content Act gives Guyanese companies priority in many sectors, so foreign firms often win work by teaming with a local partner. We introduce you to vetted Guyanese businesses that fit your work.
FOR GUYANESE BUSINESSES
Sell to the United States and Canada
Guyanese businesses have products and services North American buyers want. GNATA helps you find buyers, distributors, partners and investors, and understand what it takes to enter these markets.
Buyers and distributors
Introductions to importers, distributors and buyers in the United States and Canada.
The diaspora market
Reach Guyanese communities in New York, Toronto and beyond, often the first customers for Guyanese brands.
Trade shows and events
Guidance on which trade shows and buyer events are worth attending, and help preparing for them.
Import requirements
Pointers to the U.S. and Canadian agencies and rules that apply to your product. General information, not legal advice.
