The show aims to let Caribbean diasporans put their fingers on on the problems that hold us back from growing mainstream sized businesses with that delightful ethnic flavour.
The barriers to be addressed are listed below.
The Barriers:
- Of foreignness
- Lack of trust and the image of Caribbean entrepreneurs
- Access to capital and more so are we ready? [Time for business, opportunities in diaspora corporate citizen generated data, research a business opportunity]
- Sparse networks ―including the missing social media superstars, the need and how to change that.
- The need for Patrons to overcome the lack of experience
- Collaboration and Civility ―self―inflicted business wounds.
- Enterprising versus entrepreneurial 2020 and beyond.
- Medical trials and biotechnology – Jamaica to diaspora opportunities
The programme will gather input to be including in the research “Towards a Policy Framework for Accelerating Caribbean Entrepreneurship at Home and in the Diaspora”.
Caribbean entrepreneurs in diasporic and domestic market are invited to share in the online forum at the following link:
