FIDC works with the Falkland Islands Government (FIG), the business sector, and other partners to promote sustainable and diversified economic growth. It does this by (1) horizon scanning and robust analysis of the business climate and new opportunities, (2) initiating major economic developments that benefit the Falkland Islands, and (3) helping new and smaller businesses to develop and grow.

FIDC is mandated to host an open economic development forum in conjunction with the various other business associations – i.e., Chamber of Commerce and Rural Business Association – and relevant FIG directorates to discuss economic themes and initiatives that would be both “forward thinking” and relevant to the Falkland Islands.
