Development of the non-energy sector through economic diversification is a vital part of the Government’s strategy for long term, economic growth and sustainability.  To this end, the Ministry spearheads the diversification of the economy under the leadership and direction of its Minister through the creation and promotion of trade, business and investment opportunities.

Strategically positioned as the industrial and commercial capital of the Caribbean, Trinidad and Tobago is driven to maintain and advance our competitive edge within the global environment.  The Ministry continues to formulate more appropriate industrial and services policies, geared towards creating a consultative and supportive environment for business and industrial activity.  The mechanisms used to achieve this include support for business expansion and industrial restructuring, expansion of the export capability of local companies and development of the legislative framework to support business and investment activities.
