The Local Content Legislation, enacted in December 2021, was designed to regulate and drive the growth of Guyana’s emerging Oil and Gas sector while fostering national economic development. This legislation facilitates increased opportunities for business, trade, and commerce, the cultivation of a skilled and adaptable workforce, and the establishment of strategic partnerships with international companies. By doing so, it empowers local businesses and professionals to actively participate in the Oil and Gas industry, as well as in support and non-traditional sectors.

This year’s Local Content Summit will take place at the Marriott Hotel, continuing its mission to bring together key stakeholders in a dynamic and collaborative forum. The event will convene policymakers, regulatory bodies, industry experts, operators, subcontractors, educators, vendors, suppliers, investors, and representatives from the local private sector.

Attendees will gain valuable insights through keynote presentations, panel discussions, and testimonials from industry leaders. The summit will focus on critical areas such as legislative updates, joint venture partnerships, capacity building, and success stories, providing businesses and professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate and maximize the opportunities within the evolving local content landscape.

The Local Content Summit is a collaborative initiative of MBW Inc., Prestige Management Consultants, and the Ministry of Natural Resources, Local Content Secretariat.
