The SlashRoots Foundation ("SlashRoots") is a civic tech non-profit that leverages technology to create solutions to social problems endemic to the Caribbean region.
Since 2011 we've partnered with a variety of government agencies, development organisations, academic institutions and private sector organizations to better use technology, user-centred design and data to improve public services and create innovative solutions to complex problems.
SlashRoots also works to develop the regional technology ecosystem, facilitating the emergence of a technology industry that employs best practices, engages in global discourse, and is responsive to the Caribbean environment of which it is a part.
Annually, we organize the Developing the Caribbean Conference & Code Sprint, one of the region’s marquee platforms for exploring the intersection of digital technologies, open data, and social innovation.
A roll-up-your-sleeves solutions focused event, DevCa brings together innovators from the public sector, civil society and development organisations with civic-minded technologists, researchers, and entrepreneurs to share experiences, research and best practices. With hundreds of participants in events across the region each year, DevCa has grown to become one of the Caribbean’s most significant technology events.
We work with and are supported by innovative organisations who care about positively impacting lives in the Caribbean. Our partners include international organisations, governments, foundations, corporations, and nonprofits.
