JAMPRO seeking technology investments for Jamaica

Jamaica Promotions Corporation (JAMPRO), Jamaica’s investment and export promotion agency, has committed to a three-year partnership with technology and innovation forum Tech Beach Retreat to seek technology investments for Jamaica. 

The event, which will take place on November 29 to December 1, 2018, in Montego Bay, St James, will bring over 40 global speakers to Jamaica’s shores to present and host discussions with local businesses and promote innovation in the Jamaican economy.

JAMPRO president Diane Edwards explained that the agency has cemented its partnership with Tech Beach because of its potential to boost industry and innovation for the Jamaican economy.

She said, “JAMPRO sees Tech Beach as an avenue to showcase high-level content in the tech industry, along with attractive business opportunities for Jamaica’s tech entrepreneurs. The event will help to attract global investors to Jamaica while acting as a catalyst for greater innovation in the island. We are particularly pleased with the event’s continued thrust to feature the latest in financial, consumer, healthcare, and media technologies while exploring new approaches to securing data and tackling cybercrime.”

The conference will bring speakers and registrants from top international enterprises such as Youtube, Instagram, Pixar Animation Studios, Twitter, Facebook, and Mastercard, providing an unprecedented opportunity for networking, relationship building, and knowledge sharing.

The Inter-American Development Bank, the Caribbean Development Bank, the Development Bank of Jamaica, and other corporate entities have joined JAMPRO as partners for Tech Beach 2018.
