PLANS are gathering pace for a digital business event which will highlight opportunities to link businesses in the North east of Scotland with a newcomer on the list of oil producing countries.

Building on the success of the first ever online Aberdeen-Houston Gateway which took place earlier this year, Granite PR has announced that the forthcoming third annual Aberdeen-Guyana Gateway will follow suit.

The online event is being held in association with the British High Commission in Guyana, and is supported by Stronachs UK and ABIS Energy.

It will be spread across two sessions on Wednesday, August 19th and Thursday, August 20th and will look at 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.

Brett Jackson, Granite PR founder and creator of the Gateway series said: “The successful move to digital for the Aberdeen-Houston Gateway and the feedback we received clearly demonstrated the appetite which exists for international business knowledge, even during these trying and uncertain times.

“Whilst we are not bringing people together in person, the digital format of the Aberdeen-Guyana Gateway will enable the event to ably fulfil its founding principles of facilitating international networking and knowledge sharing in a safe and appropriate way.”
