This virtual summit is designed to help Caribbean-based Entrepreneurs thrive digitally
PHILIPSBURG:--- From June 24-26, 2020 Produce Wealth Revolution Agency (PWR Agency) will be hosting its first virtual summit, Islandpreneur Live 2020. This three (3) day virtual summit is designed to provide inspiration, best practices, and relevant information to empower Caribbean-based entrepreneurs to achieve business success digitally and become more resilient.
This complimentary regional event is ideal for students, start-ups, freelancers, small businesses, and social impact innovators. Over the past few months, businesses offered virtual and digital services as a means to survive ‘lockdown’ and physical distancing protocols imposed on us by COVID-19.
Government offices and organizations, supermarkets, churches, schools, entrepreneurs, and small businesses all turned to technology and digital tools to operate under unprecedented conditions. This emergency digital revolution showcased the importance and resilience of the island's digital economy while exposing the efficiency gaps that otherwise would not have been seen. In the end, it displayed collaborative creativity to fight against the existential threat posed by this pandemic.
Islandpreneur Live 2020 offers Caribbean-based entrepreneurs a unique opportunity to gain insights into how to achieve digital business success. From June 24-26, more than 20 leading global experts most of whom are originally from the region, will cover topics such as ideation, social media, finance, raising capital, leveraging international markets, intellectual property, and digital payments. Confirmed international experts are from Sint Maarten, Curacao, Jamaica, Montserrat, Nigeria, St. Kitts, and the USA. The virtual summit will open daily with a keynote address and end with roundtable discussions about getting paid online, doing business online, and the relationship between the digital revolution and economic resilience.
The organizers of Islandpreneur Live 2020 saw an opportunity to host an event that talked about digital entrepreneurship while addressing the challenges island-based entrepreneurs face. In addition to experts and entrepreneurs, critical economic stakeholders such as the Dutch Caribbean Securities Exchange (DCSX) and the Centrale Bank van Curacao and St. Maarten (CBCS) will facilitate masterclasses.
DCSX lists businesses from around the world. They are committed to supporting entrepreneurs and small and medium enterprises, particularly in the region, to raise capital through the exchange. This and how to attract investors will be further explained in their masterclass.
CBCS is one of the key collaborative partners. They will be facilitating two (2) masterclasses and hosting the round table: “Get Paid Online” on June 24 at 4:30 pm. One of the masterclasses will focus on digital payments and what the future of payments will look like on Curacao and Sint Maarten. The second masterclass will concentrate on start-up finance and what entrepreneurs must be aware of to ensure financial success.
