SUPPORTING THE CARICOM SINGLE ICT SPACE

THE CARIBBEAN TECHNOLOGY UNION

"The CTU has to continue to be a leader in driving the transformation of national economies in the new digital context. This has to happen country by country, but it also has to happen within a regional framework such as the CARICOM Single ICT Space,
an initiative for which CTU is the lead agency.

This calls for a very focused and streamlined organization to promote harmonized policies and standards that will allow us to make the region more attractive for investment in the
technology sector, and ultimately, to make life better for our people"

Rodney Taylor, CTU Secretary General
