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 CTU proposes to work collaboratively with its members, partners and other interested organisations and institutions to deliver a programme designed to educate and demonstrate the transformative power of ICT innovation.

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.

The CTU invites Caribbean governments, organisations, institutions and individuals with an interest in ICT innovation to partner with it by supporting and participating in its 20th Anniversary Caribbean ICT Roadshow. Support of this event would be a tangible demonstration of commitment to innovative in an ICT-enabled transition to knowledge-based economies and societies.
