REGISTRATION FOR THE 2023 PRODUCED IN MONTSERRAT EXPO (P.R.I.M.E) IS NOW OPEN.

The PRIME Planning Committee is thrilled to announce that registration is now open for PRIME 2023. The annual trade expo spotlights Montserrat's best products, services, and entrepreneurs. This year’s event will take place on July 22nd and 23rd at the Montserrat Cultural Centre.  

The organisers of PRIME are encouraging interested businesses to participate in the third (3rd) staging of this event which promises to be bigger and better than previous years. The rapid growth in vendor registration, local turnout and community sponsorships are testaments to the impact of PRIME within our local economy.

PRIME was created as a platform for local businesses to showcase their products and services to a wider audience. The event has also evolved into an innovation hub where some of Montserrat’s premier entrepreneurs gather to share ideas, recommendations and build collaborations with each other. PRIME further creates awareness amongst business owners, inspiring product development and thereby spurring competitiveness.

Interested vendors can register via the PRIME website at https://prime.gov.ms/ to exhibit their products or services. Alternatively, businesses can register by contacting the Montserrat Arts Council (MAC) at (664) 491-8555. Registration carries a non-refundable fee of $50; the deadline for registration is 26th May 2023.

The Honourable Premier and Minister with responsibility for Trade, Culture and Tourism reflected on past PRIME experiences, stating, “It was exhilarating and heartwarming to see the vast range of goods produced right here in Montserrat. We have noticed that the commercial viability and export potential of products showcased at PRIME has drastically improved over the last 2 years. PRIME is rich with culture while it enhances and supports the tourism thrusts during the Calabash festivities. This an event that can truly transform the island’s economic outlook.”

 “PRIME has been blossoming into a phenomenal event and we have been fortunate enough to see the emergence of new businesses and industries being launched there. The organisers have assured that PRIME 2023 will be top tier!” Mrs Daphne Cassell, Permanent Secretary, Office of the Premier.

PRIME is a must-attend event for any business owner or entrepreneur looking to launch, expand and/or promote their products/services.
