Chamber Executive Director, Brian Louisy, attended the 2025 Global Entrepreneurship Congress in Indianapolis Indiana, June 2-5, 2025. Louisy joined thousands of participants from across the world who support entrepreneurship through their work. Defining himself as an Eco-System Builder, because of the advocacy work he leads on behalf of the St. Lucia Business Community and the several programs aimed at supporting entrepreneurs and their dreams, Louisy found the Congress inspiring and energizing.

Teh opportunities to network with colleagues in this space remains invaluable says Louisy and as such he will continue to push the work of the Chamber in its many facets that align with the objectives of the Global Entrepreneurship Network. Attending GEC meant:

• Be Inspired: Thought leaders challenged conventional thinking and illuminated emerging trends and opportunities.
• Shape Policy: Government officials engaged in the Startup Nations Ministerial, crafting policies that ignite new firm formation.
• Gain Insights: Academics shared data-driven insights into the performance of entrepreneurship programs and ecosystems.
• Find New Deals: Investors met entrepreneurs from all over the world to explore cutting-edge new investment opportunities.
• Scale Your Vision: Startups connected with experienced mentors and investors, gaining invaluable guidance for growth.
• Build Your Network: All participants forged lasting connections, expanding their influence across global innovation ecosystems.

The Chamber has already commenced planning for Global Entrepreneurship Week 2025 and will be calling on you to support and participate as we promote and celebrate entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs in St. Lucia and the world over.
