The CRNM has established a virtual area dedicated to the private sector to increase information dissemination across the region and provide a resource for private sector activities in trade. The site is intended to archive documents from recent industry association meetings, consultations and public presentations involving CRNM participation, such as the Creative Industries workshop in Trinidad, a workshop for Surinamese manufacturers, a poultry association workshop in Belize, and several others.
