Business Activity

Up to August YTD, 2025

The Curaçao Chamber of Commerce & Industry continues to experience strong momentum in 2025, reflecting its commitment to being close to the business community. By the end of August, the Chambers' Entrepreneurship Center recorded more than 61,000 contact moments with entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners. These interactions—spanning consultations, training and capacity-building programs, registry services, social media engagement, and e-newsletters—demonstrate the Chamber’s ongoing role as the “Kurason di Komèrsio,” the heart of commerce in Curaçao. Each touchpoint represents not only an exchange of information but also an opportunity to support business growth, address challenges, and strengthen the

entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Knowledge sharing and networking remained central priorities throughout the year. By August 2025, the Chamber had successfully organized 98 courses, webinars, and sessions, drawing more than 3,000 participants. These initiatives covered a wide range of topics, from starting and scaling

a business to financial management, compliance, and international trade opportunities.

The strong turnout reflects the eagerness of local entrepreneurs to invest in themselves, enhance their skills, and stay competitive in a rapidly changing economy. The Chamber’s role as a trusted provider of practical knowledge and accessible training, continues to contribute directly to

the resilience and adaptability of the business community.

Entrepreneurs also benefited from improved access to essential services. By August, 2,031 excerpts had been issued through the express pickup service, helping business owners obtain

critical documents more efficiently.

In addition, the Chamber’s new digital excerpt service—introduced in April—has been increasingly embraced by users, marking a significant step toward digital transformation and convenience. This innovation reflects the Chambers' ongoing efforts to modernize its services and ensure that entrepreneurs can dedicate more time to running their businesses while still meeting administrative obligations.

By combining efficient access to official documentation with a strong emphasis on education, training, and communication, the Chamber strengthens the foundations of Curaçao’s business community and reinforces its position as the true "Kurason di Komèrsio".
