Industry

Room to build. Room to grow.

The Department of Industrial Development has built Guyana’s industrial base since 1991, with industrial estates, incubators and work to make local industry more competitive.

Why industrial estates

Serviced land for the businesses that make things

The Department develops and monitors the estates, and builds competitiveness through sector training, stakeholder meetings, a review of industrial legislation and a draft industrial policy.
