The Caribbean ICT Roadshow has been developed to raise awareness within the public sector, the private sector, civil society and academia, of the innovative approaches possible and necessary for the effective use of ICTs in government, business and social development.

The programme, dubbed the CIRS, will take the form of a series of country visits across the region, designed to foster a spirit of innovation in the development of ICT-based practical solutions, to raise awareness and to encourage harmonization of efforts in the adoption of ICT solutions for inclusive economic and social development.

The theme, Harnessing the Power of Innovation - the engine for ICT-enabled development, is reflective of the objectives we hope to achieve.

The CIRS will culminate in a regional ICT Symposium on 17-19 November 2010 to highlight and celebrate regional innovators and innovations and build consensus on collaborative approaches to achieving measurable national and regional advance through effective utilization of ICTs.
