ICTP 323: Developing technology as an export in the Caribbean region, with Vashti Maharaj of the Commonwealth Secretariat

  • Summary

  • Almost without exception, all Caribbean countries are net importers of technology, especially ICT. In other words, we import considerably more of the ICT goods and services we use than we export.

    With Vashti Maharaj, the Adviser, Digital Trade Policy, of the Commonwealth Secretariat, we discuss technology as an export and how Caribbean countries can better develop this increasingly crucial aspect of their economy. Some of the areas covered include:

    * defining the concept of technology as an export;

    * factors hindering the growth of the technology export sector in the region;

    * important trade agreements that can benefit Caribbean technology exporters; and

    * advice she would give to a Caribbean tech entrepreneur looking to expand internationally.
