Competition format & key facts
Organized detailsOverview
ABIA is accepting investment-ready ventures and development projects for selection into the Commonwealth Business Forum 2026 Power Pitch, where five selected projects will present to investors and strategic partners.
Complete competition details
The official CHOGM 2026 announcement invites applicants with investment-ready ventures or projects to submit by email. Applications are assessed for commercial viability, financial sustainability, scalability, market opportunity, development impact and overall investment readiness. The top five projects are to receive preparation guidance before pitching to an international audience of investors, financiers, business leaders and partners. The currently rendered official page does not expose a reliable submission-deadline value, so no deadline is stored here.
Eligibility requirements
Open to Antiguan and Barbudan citizens and residents, including aspiring entrepreneurs seeking investment funding, existing businesses with expansion-ready projects, and project developers seeking strategic partnerships or investment.
Tips for this competition
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Study the scoring criteria and previous winners before deciding what evidence, prototype, essay, research or portfolio will best support the entry.
- Confirm country, age, team, education and organization restrictions and whether one person may enter multiple submissions.
- Follow the required file format, word/time limits and naming rules exactly; technical non-compliance can disqualify a strong entry.
- Keep proof of submission and submit before the deadline rather than relying on the final hour.
Verification notes

The rendered official deadline field is malformed/blank, so third-party copies were not used to populate an authoritative deadline.
