The Challenge

A Creative Industry. An Incomplete Business Picture.

Caribbean fashion generates economic activity across design, apparel and accessories, textiles, manufacturing, retail, e-commerce, logistics, marketing, intellectual property, and related professional services. Yet information about the sector is often dispersed across national statistics, business records, industry studies, and research initiatives. These sources do not necessarily provide a consistent basis for comparing business performance across territories or tracking changes over time.

Be Part of the Development Process

Help build a stronger evidence base for the Caribbean fashion industry.

The development of a meaningful regional index requires engagement from the businesses, institutions and specialists who understand the sector's commercial realities. Fashion businesses can express interest in participating in the research. Researchers and technical specialists can explore opportunities to contribute expertise. Development institutions, policymakers and potential funding partners can discuss collaboration and support. Participation, funding and partnership opportunities will be subject to the pilot's requirements, eligibility and agreed arrangements.
