ICTP 131: Developing the Cayman Islands’ tech pillar, with Charlie Kirkconnell of the Cayman Enterprise City

The Cayman Islands is trying to do just that by diversifying from their two-pillar economy. In this episode, Charlie Kirkconnell, CEO of the award-winning Cayman Enterprise City (CEC), discusses, among other things: why the CEC has been so successful in attracting technology businesses, and becoming a hotbed for innovation; the Launch Labs initiative, which aims to help tech teams build successful businesses; some of the successes and milestones achieved by the CEC; and lessons other countries can learn from the CEC experience.
