MIAMI — (Black PR Wire) – South Florida businesses can meet Caribbean entrepreneurs at a free business networking expo Nov. 16 in Miami, part of a trade mission aimed at expanding commercial ties between the region and the United States.

The opening ceremony and Business Networking Expo will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, Nov. 16, 2026. The event launches the “From Island Roots to Global Routes Business Expansion Mission and Expo,” scheduled for Nov. 16-19 at PortMiami 1015 N. America Way, Miami.

Caribbean trade mission targets U.S. markets

The mission brings together businesses from St. Maarten and Saint-Martin, Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao and Anguilla. Organizers say the program is intended to help island enterprises explore new markets and build international business relationships.

Miami business networking and import-export opportunities

For South Florida companies, the expo offers a chance to meet prospective Caribbean partners and learn about their products and services. Organizers identify distribution, sourcing, professional services and import-export trade as areas for potential collaboration.
