Help Build the CFBI

Building a stronger Caribbean fashion industry begins with better business intelligence. The Caribbean Fashion Business Index™ (CFBI) is being developed to address critical gaps in the data needed to understand fashion business performance, strengthen enterprise development, and inform investment and policy decisions across the region.

Your contribution can help advance this work. Financial support will contribute towards the development and testing of the CFBI framework, pilot data collection, methodological review, and the preparation of findings for the proposed Caribbean Fashion Outlook.

Whether you are a fashion professional, entrepreneur, industry supporter, or member of the public, you can help build the evidence needed to strengthen the future of Caribbean fashion.

Support the development of the CFBI. Help turn better data into better decisions for the region’s fashion industry.
