Caribbean Tech Week Starts Today. It Is Not a Moment. It’s a Signal.

1 day ago 3

The Caribbean is no longer asking for a seat at the global tech table. We’re building our own.

Caribbean Tech Week isn’t just a calendar of events. It’s a decentralised, hybrid festival spotlighting the founders, funders, builders, creatives, and ecosystem architects shaping the Digital Caribbean – from Kingston to Port of Spain, St Kitts to New York.

For one powerful week, the Region and its Diaspora sync up.

Meetups. Mixers. AI roundtables. Fintech deep dives. Blockchain limes. Entrepreneur conversations. Online panels connecting islands without borders. In-person gatherings are sparking real-world deals.

This is what momentum looks like.

What makes it different?
It’s not parachuted in. It’s community-powered. Locally hosted. Globally connected. Each event is independently led but collectively aligned around one shared narrative:

The Caribbean is building. And we’re building on various levels.

At SiliconCaribe, we’ve spent years amplifying the stories of Caribbean tech entrepreneurs, digital creators, and tech leaders. Caribbean Tech Week is the physical manifestation of that mission – turning headlines into handshakes and content and community into collaboration for business and capital.

Has it been perfect this first year? No.

Did we get it done, and is it powerful? Absolutely.

Because ecosystems aren’t declared.
They’re demonstrated.

And this is ours, in motion.

” The Caribbean innovation is organised. Caribbean entrepreneurs and talent are visible.
and our Caribbean digital culture is rising,” says Ingrid Riley, Founder of SiliconCaribe and Caribbean Tech Week.

What!
Caribbean Tech Week is a decentralised, hybrid festival of events and digital media content celebrating and spotlighting the people, products, businesses, and ideas driving the rise of the Digital Caribbean.

Our Why!
The intention behind it is to amplify and demonstrate to ourselves and the rest of the world that Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and excellence thrive here, and our Digital Culture is growing.
