The Aberdeen-Guyana Gateway examined opportunities for the Scottish and UK supply chain to gain a foothold in this emerging market which has produced its first crude oil within the past year.
Presentations were delivered by a host of speakers, led by His Excellency Mr Greg Quinn, High Commissioner for The Co-operative Republic of Guyana and Suriname and The Lord Provost of Aberdeen, Barney Crockett.
Mr Quinn said: “The burgeoning relationship between Aberdeen and Guyana is testament to the support and assistance Aberdeen can give to Guyana. But this is a relationship based on partnerships designed to benefit all. It is a pleasure to support these partnerships and to encourage them going forward.”
Brett Jackson, Granite PR managing director and creator of the Gateway series, added: “The move to digital for our Gateway series has proved that, even although we are not bringing people together in person, we are still able to fulfil our event’s principles of facilitating international networking and knowledge sharing in a safe and appropriate way.
“The support this Gateway has received from delegates in a range of locations gives us confidence and optimism as we look ahead to the shape and delivery of future events in our growing portfolio.”
The series continues on September 2nd and 3rd with the seventh annual Aberdeen-Norway Gateway.
