Caribbean Export Development Agency (Caribbean Export) has extended the application deadline for the BRIDGE Grant Programme to Tuesday, December 2, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. AST.
This decision follows the widespread disruptions caused by Hurricane Melissa, which brought severe weather conditions and extensive power and internet outages across several Caribbean states. These challenges significantly affected businesses’ and entrepreneurs’ ability to complete their applications on time.
Caribbean Export stands in solidarity with all those affected by the hurricane and remains committed to ensuring that private sector firms across the region have equitable access to this important funding opportunity.
The extension provides additional time for applicants to finalize their submissions and ensures that no one is disadvantaged due to circumstances beyond their control.
Hurricane Melissa also serves as a reminder of the growing impacts of climate change and the urgent need to strengthen the region’s resilience. Caribbean Export continues to support the Caribbean private sector with the tools, resources, and partnerships necessary to build resilience and accelerate the transition to a green economy.
