The Guyana Innovation Village has attracted interest from global corporations, eager to collaborate and invest in Guyana. GIG's efforts have drawn attention from the DAR Group, UMusic Hotels, a renowned international Logistics Company, Alder Fuels, OEC, and various MIT Centres.
Innovation Village introduces "innovation districts," an urban model promoting synergies between public and private sectors, academia, and NGOs, to foster societal change. Leveraging technologies like blockchain, AI, and big data, these districts aim to nurture local talent and innovative solutions. A highlight is the inclusion of an all-electric motorsports, and water circuits, emphasizing innovation and sustainability.
GIG is in discussions with global tech companies to develop the framework for Silica City, aiming to establish it as a leader in smart city technology.
Rodrigo Arboleda Halaby, co-founder and Chairman of GIG, emphasized the transformative impact of the Silica City Masterplan. Co-founder Rodrigo Veloso highlighted Guyana's potential and business-friendly environment.
Bashar Rihani, Director of the DAR Group, expressed enthusiasm for supporting Silica City and the Guyana Innovation Group.
Ahead of COP 28 in Dubai, GIG has explored cities in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar for insights applicable to Guyana.
The Silica City Masterplan aims to set a new standard in sustainable urban planning, showcasing the collaborative spirit of Guyana, Guyana Innovation Group, and the University of Miami.

Crypto trades around the clock across hundreds of exchanges. Stock prices react to news in milliseconds.

The traders who thrived in this environment were either exceptionally disciplined o
