Eco-Industrial Development Company of Tobago (E-IDCOT) Ltd

The Eco-Industrial Development Company of Tobago (E-IDCOT) Ltd was established by the Tobago House of Assembly (THA) in 2009, as a wholly-owned, private limited liability company. E-IDCOT was formed as one of the executive agencies responsible for driving economic development and transformation in Tobago in furtherance of the goals and objectives of THA’s Comprehensive Economic Development Plan (CEDP). The core mandate of E-IDCOT is to facilitate the development and diversification of the Tobago economy beyond tourism, through the environmentally sustainable production of goods and services on the island, ensuring alignment with the branding of Tobago as “Clean, Green, Safe and Serene”. The establishment of Eco-Industrial Park is a critical element of the overall strategy to diversify the Tobago economy away from its overdependence on tourism, through the location, growth and development of environmentally sustainable local, regional and international businesses. To fulfil its mandate, E-IDCOT will develop, promote and manage several Eco-Industrial Parks in Tobago, the first of which is Cove Tobago. To support of its mandate, E-IDCOT provides business facilitation services to individuals, start-up operations and established companies, and collaborates with various local and regional stakeholders to form partnerships, to reach existing and potential entrepreneurs. In addition, E-IDCOT makes Project Management Services available to the Tobago House of Assembly (THA), providing oversight for construction and rehabilitative projects throughout Tobago. These projects include the Belle Garden Housing Development, Shirvan Housing Project, the Scarborough Market Remodeling Project and the Milshirv Administrative Complex, among others.
