CARIF 2026: Ten Years of Advancing Caribbean Infrastructure

On September 15–16, leaders from across the Caribbean and internationally gathered in Miami for the tenth annual Caribbean Infrastructure Forum, the largest CARIF to date.

The Caribbean’s infrastructure agenda is moving from ambition to execution. Governments are advancing plans to modernize energy systems, strengthen climate resilience, expand digital capacity, and upgrade health, transport, and water networks. The challenge is no longer defining priorities. It is delivering projects that are financeable, buildable, and resilient in practice.

The numbers tell the story: the Caribbean requires roughly US$20 billion in infrastructure investment through 2030 to meet demand across energy, water, transport, and digital systems. At the same time, non-revenue water losses average around 45%, costing utilities hundreds of millions of dollars annually, while climate pressures continue to mount following tens of billions of dollars in hurricane damage across the region in recent years. Private capital is available, but it is deploying cautiously, waiting for the regulatory clarity, project structures, and partnerships that turn ambition into bankable deals.

CARIF exists to close that gap.

For ten years, CARIF has been the forum where Caribbean infrastructure actually gets financed and built. At CARIF 2026, senior decision-makers from government, finance, development, and industry pressure-tested strategies, aligned capital, and forged the partnerships required to move projects from concept to delivery.
