ExxonMobil Guyana has returned as a sponsor of the fifth anniversary edition of the ECONOME Business Conference, deepening a partnership that organizers say is helping to expand entrepreneurship, innovation and youth empowerment across Guyana.<\/p>\n
Now entering its fifth year, the ECONOME Business Conference has grown from a small business podcast into one of Guyana\u2019s emerging platforms for entrepreneurs, small businesses, creatives, professionals and aspiring business leaders.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s conference, themed \u201cSwim Differently,\u201d is expected to focus heavily on innovation, strategic thinking and encouraging Guyanese entrepreneurs to move beyond traditional business models in a rapidly transforming economy.<\/p>\n
The two-day event is scheduled for June 20\u201321, 2026 at the Four Points by Sheraton Georgetown and is expected to attract hundreds of participants from across the country.<\/p>\n
Founder of ECONOME, Matthew Gaul, described ExxonMobil Guyana\u2019s continued support as a major signal of confidence in the platform\u2019s growing national influence.<\/p>\n
According to organizers, the collaboration between ECONOME and ExxonMobil Guyana is rooted in shared goals surrounding business development, empowerment and long-term national growth.<\/p>\n
Beyond the conference itself, this year\u2019s partnership will also support a community outreach initiative in St. Cuthbert\u2019s Mission ahead of the main event.<\/p>\n
The outreach programme is expected to include a Business and Entrepreneurship Forum focused on financial literacy, digital transformation and mental wellness, alongside a medical outreach initiative and youth sports engagement activities.<\/p>\n
Organizers say the expanded community component reflects ECONOME\u2019s wider philosophy that entrepreneurship and economic development should directly impact communities outside of Georgetown and traditional business spaces.<\/p>\n
Over the last four years, the conference has increasingly positioned itself as a hub for networking, mentorship, SME development and conversations around innovation and Caribbean business growth.<\/p>\n
The return of ExxonMobil Guyana as a sponsor also comes at a time when the country\u2019s private sector ecosystem is rapidly evolving alongside Guyana\u2019s oil-driven economic expansion, creating growing discussions around entrepreneurship, local capacity building and the future role of Guyanese businesses in a transforming economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ExxonMobil Guyana has returned as a sponsor of the fifth anniversary edition of the ECONOME Business Conference, deepening…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":679591,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[45,49,48,137],"class_list":["post-679590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entrepreneurship","tag-business","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entrepreneurship"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=679590"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679590\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/679591"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=679590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=679590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=679590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
