Curious about how open innovation, corporate venturing, or innovation financing could reshape the Caribbean’s landscape?
As part of Caribbean Export’s 2025 work plan, we are pleased to launch the Open Innovation Series, a set of thematic webinars aimed at strengthening innovation ecosystems across the region.
Thursday, 8 May 2025
09:00 a.m. (GMT-5) (local Jamaican time)
Objective
This initiative is intended to familiarise Caribbean corporates and startups with the core concepts underpinning the EU-LAC Digital Accelerator, namely open innovation, corporate venturing, innovation financing and scaling collaborative models. As these concepts continue to emerge in the Caribbean, the first webinar: “Open Innovation in Action: Unlocking Growth Through Corporate-Startup Collaboration in the Caribbean” will serve both to build a shared understanding of their potential and to mark the official launch of Digital Connectors Jamaica.
