Malfinis Film and Animation Studio Inc attends the 4th CARIFORUM-EU Business Forum

Malfinis Film and Animation Studio Inc was invited to the 4th CARIFORUM-EU Business Forum. Taking up the mantel was Brandon Scott who traveled to Frankfurt,  Germany for three days to attend the forum.

Opening Ceremony Presentations

The main goal of this forum was to support the expansion of Caribbean based firms' export capacities. Malfinis embraced the opportunity knowing the potential for growth and networking. The driving force behind this initiative was Caribbean Export, the only regional trade and investment promotion agency in the Caribbean. 

From the first day, we were welcomed by Caribbean Export's team. The weather may have been cold, but our hosts were warm.

We were given the chance to meet with some of the biggest players within the region and the EU, through a networking reception. The second day and third day were filled with meetings with investors and buyers from the EU. This was truly beneficial, as the business-to-business meetings helped us connect on a more personal level with potential buyers. Additionally, our time was was well-spent meeting with other Caribbean firms which encouraged collaboration and fostered new business relationships.

This was a very eye-opening venture. The ability to network with other Caribbean countries and the EU is one that will surely benefit any up and coming studio, company or small business. The technical know how and business opportunities that were shared are also equally important and invaluable. Malfinis Film and Animations Studio Inc is very grateful for the opportunity to attend and the knowledge gained will surely benefit future generations of creative businesses to come.
