Leveraging Energy Diversity Across the Caribbean

Caribbean Energy Week (CEW) 2026 took place at the Royal Torarica Hotel in Paramaribo, Suriname, from 30 March to 1 April 2026, uniting government leaders, investors, and industry executives to showcase the Caribbean as one of the world’s fastest-evolving energy frontiers. By bringing together hydrocarbons, power, renewables, mining, and carbon credits under one roof, the event leveraged the Caribbean's diversity to highlight its most bankable projects, forge strategic partnerships, and accelerate investment.

As a cross-border energy investment forum, CEW 2026 capitalized on the region’s energy surge while drawing on Afro-Caribbean synergies in logistics and technology. With structured matchmaking, pre-scheduled meetings, and deal-focused sessions, the event was designed to turn dialogue into tangible outcomes and uncover new opportunities across the entire energy value chain.

We now look ahead to CEW 2027, taking place from 30 March to 1 April 2027, as we continue to advance investment and collaboration across the Caribbean.
