Min­is­ter of Trade and In­dus­try Paula Gopee-Scoon has hailed eTecK’s lead­er­ship and staff for its in­stru­men­tal work in fa­cil­i­tat­ing in­vest­ments lo­cal­ly.

The Min­is­ter not­ed the achieve­ments at eTecK’s 20th an­niver­sary and awards cel­e­bra­tion held at the Trinidad Hilton and Con­fer­ence Cen­tre on Fri­day

The Min­is­ter said,“With just 75 em­ploy­ees, thou­sands of per­sons are gain­ful­ly em­ployed, help­ing to se­cure the so­cio-eco­nom­ic de­vel­op­ment of the pop­u­la­tion and fa­cil­i­tat­ing a sta­ble means of liv­ing for em­ploy­ees at all of the agency’s man­aged prop­er­ties.”

She ex­plained eTecK has grown in­to a piv­otal force, ad­vanc­ing the man­date of the Min­istry of Trade and In­dus­try through in­dus­tri­al de­vel­op­ment and eco­nom­ic trans­for­ma­tion.

Min­is­ter Gopee-Scoon said, “Over the past nine years—since hold­ing of­fice—the Gov­ern­ment has worked hand in hand with eTecK to cre­ate eco­nom­ic spaces where the pri­vate sec­tor can thrive, cat­a­pult­ing our in­dus­tri­al land­scape.

“Dur­ing this time, five in­dus­tri­al parks have been opened, in­clud­ing the Moru­ga Agro-Pro­cess­ing and Light In­dus­tri­al Park, the first of its kind in the Caribbean and the Phoenix Park In­dus­tri­al Es­tate, our state-of-the-art first 5G in­dus­tri­al park in T&T, all done un­der eTecK’s hands.”

Ad­di­tion­al parks are al­so un­der­way, the Min­is­ter said, em­pha­sis­ing that through these con­struc­tion projects, eTecK is pro­vid­ing rough­ly 400 busi­ness­es across the coun­try with ac­cess to up-to-date in­fra­struc­ture, strate­gic lo­ca­tions, and an en­abling en­vi­ron­ment that sup­ports mod­erni­sa­tion, ef­fi­cien­cy, and growth.

Gopee-Scoon said,“What’s even more im­pres­sive is eTeck’s suc­cess in se­cur­ing 100 per­cent ten­an­cy for the Fac­to­ry Road Light In­dus­tri­al Park, even be­fore its of­fi­cial com­mis­sion­ing,”

The Min­is­ter al­so ap­plaud­ed eTecK’s man­age­ment for their stel­lar per­for­mance in steer­ing the com­pa­ny and not­ed that the Min­istry re­mains com­mit­ted to col­lab­o­rat­ing to­ward build­ing a pros­per­ous fu­ture to­geth­er.
