Prime Minister, the Hon. Philip Davis was among a list of speakers at the 35th annual Bahamas Business Outlook event on Thursday at the Baha Mar Convention Center.
During his presentation Mr. Davis spoke about the government’s investment in infrastructure and energy reform. He said, “an economy moves at the speed of its connections. Airports, ports, roads, clinics, hospitals, digital systems and energy grids determine whether investment slows or stalls. For decades Bahamian businesses carried the costs for outdated systems, high energy prices, unreliable supply, aging infrastructure. Those costs reduce competitiveness and discourage expansion.”
The Prime Minister went further explaining more of the government’s efforts to prepare Bahamians for the future. “Talent multiples investment, skill compounds growth and again confidence fuels innovation. Though national upskilling, apprenticeships, technical training and expanded access to education at every stage of life we are preparing Bahamians to compete in a world that is changing faster than any generation before ours.”
Mr. Davis told the government officials, business leaders and others gathers that The Bahamas has the opportunity to lead in energy transition, maritime services, creative enterprise, climate adaptation and mitigation, financial services and technology enabled businesses.
