Business Dynamics

November YTD, 2025

The Curaçao Chamber of Commerce & Industry continues to demonstrate a steady rise in business engagement as we close out 2025 and set the tone for 2026, reaffirming its strong connection with Curaçao’s entrepreneurial community. While final December figures are still being consolidated, the

year-to-date results through November already reflect a dynamic and impactful year.

November proved to be a particularly active month, generating 11,635 contact moments with entrepreneurs reflecting meaningful interactions through events, outreach, and services. Key highlights included the successful Curaçao Chamber Business Mixer, which stood out in both preparation and execution, as well as the Curaçao Study & Career Fair and Global Entrepreneurship Week activities. Together, these initiatives strengthened the Chamber’s connection with youth and aspiring young entrepreneurs, engaging over 700 students and young professionals across multiple platforms.

During these months, the Chamber intensified its outreach efforts—visiting schools, hosting additional webinars in collaboration with Global Entrepreneurship Week, engaging with Curaçao Groeit, and organizing the most recent Curaçao Chamber Business Mixer. Together, these initiatives generated an estimated 12,000 additional contact moments and attracted over 500 extra participants, reflecting strong and rising interest from entrepreneurs, students, and stakeholders across the island. These touchpoints build on the momentum created earlier in the year, where thousands of entrepreneurs connected with the Chamber through consultations,

training sessions, registry services, social media interactions, and its monthly e-newsletter.

These November results build on strong engagement throughout the year. By the end of November, the Chamber recorded a year-to-date total of 93,282 contact moments, reflecting thousands of connections through consultations, training sessions, registry services, outreach initiatives, social media interactions, webinars, and the monthly e-newsletter. This sustained engagement underscores the growing relevance of the Chamber as a central hub for information, guidance, and

opportunity.

Empowerment through learning and connection remains at the core of the Chamber’s mission. Increased participation in webinars and interactive sessions throughout the year highlights the continued demand for practical insights on starting, growing, innovating, and navigating compliance and finance. At the same time, entrepreneurs continue to benefit from efficient and accessible

services, including the well-utilized express pickup service for essential documents.

As we close the year and begin a new one, the Chamber is already engaged in evaluation and forward-looking planning for 2026, aiming to deliver even more valuable insights, opportunities, and impactful events for the business community. Stay tuned for upcoming activities via our social media channels and in the next edition of our e-newsletter as we build on this momentum together.
