TTBizLink

TTBizLink, the first Single Electronic Window (SEW) in the Caribbean, is a secure business portal that provides 24/7 access to applications for various trade and business related government services by linking multiple partners via a single electronic platform which is accessible by clicking www.ttbizlink.gov.tt. Applications submitted online are automatically routed to the relevant approving agency for electronic processing. The agency then communicates with the applicant electronically on the status of the application indicating whether it has been approved, rejected or queried.

TTBizLink represents collaboration and interconnectivity amongst over twenty (20) Government Agencies on board from seven (7) Ministries, together with the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce (TTCIC). Registration for TTBizLink is spearheaded by ttconnect which falls under the Ministry of Public Administration. This represents yet another example of partnering between Government Ministries under the TTBizLink project.

 

Through the Modules available on TTBizLink, over forty (40) e-applications are available which are currently being used by over three thousand eight hundred (3,800) companies and over eighteen thousand (18,000) individuals.

TTBizLink is currently in a growth phase which has been facilitated by an Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) Loan, specifically for the expansion and enhancement of the SEW. The overarching objective of this Project is to improve Trinidad and Tobago’s trade performance and enhance its business competitiveness through the strengthening and transformation of the SEW into a world-class solution, based on international standards. This project is paving the way to further promote and entrench excellence in government service delivery to the trade and business community in Trinidad and Tobago, and indeed, to external investors.
