The Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, in collaboration with the Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU) will be hosting ICT Week from the 19th - 23rd March 2018. The theme for the Week is '21st Century Government'. The main aim of the week’s activities is to sensitise the population on the use of ICT as a lever for economic growth and development.

The main focus of ICT Week will be on emphasising the steps that need to be taken by Caribbean Governments to accelerate the implementation of 21st Century Government, which is characterised as citizen-centric and utilising technology for the seamless delivery of services to its citizens.

A major component of the ICT Week in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is the ICT Roadshow-SVG. The ICT Roadshow-SVG which is an initiative of the CTU is a public awareness and education programme, designed to enable stakeholders to maximize the benefits of ICT. Specifically, the Roadshow “demonstrates how technology can be used to transform society by offering education, fostering innovation and encouraging regional governments to implement ICT effectively with regard to public services and governance.”

Accordingly, we are inviting persons to attend the Innovators Forum Session from 1:30 p.m. on Friday 23rd, March 2018, at the Kingstown Methodist Church Hall.
