About
Invest Barbados

There are tangible and intangible characterics linked to Barbados' history, culture and economic development that have evolved into what many call the Barbados Model. This model is based on impressive social and economic development supported by heavy investments in human resources, establishment o fwell-functioning social frameworks, maintenance of political stability, and effective fiscal management. It has contributed to Barbados; ranking in the World Economic Forum's Global Competitive Index, which suggests Barbados it transitioning from an "efficiency economy" to an "innovation economy".

Today, Barbados is making a quantum leap in its delivery of service excellence through the provision of high-quality business and service solutions, as well as in crafting and diffusing a genuine culture of innovation at the national level. Barbados is ready to "engage the world", both in attracting new investments into the island , in helping local and foreign investments to flourish, in expanding the number of job opportunities available to Barbadians, and in exporting Barbadian products and services to the world.

The Barbados Government has created Invest Barbados (IB) to assist the country to become even more responsive in a competitive international environment. IB is now responsible for attracting, winning and sustaining international investment for Barbados; unleashing the export potential of the indigenous services sector; and helping to develop and manage the Barbados Brand.

As economic globisation creates real threats and opportunities for small-island states, IB's mandate is revolutionary. Based on Barbados' Natinoal Strategic Plan 2005-2025, it visualises "a fully developed society that is prosperous, socially just and globally competitive". Among other considerations, such a vision incorporates the notions of competitiveness, and of balanced, sustainable, equitable growth.

Invest Barbados represents an exciting new phase in Barbados' economic development. With offices in New York, Miami, Toronto, and London, we are committed to engaging the world on behalf of the people of Barbados and the investors who are a vital part of our national landscape.
