Islandpreneur is designed to create unique value. It aims to scale impact on islands through innovation, finance, and entrepreneurship programs. The focus is to equip 'islandpreneurs' to be tech enabled, build businesses that can thrive in the 21st century, and develop a different standard of financial literacy that offers them global opportunities to scale. As this platform brings people together, it offers diversification within tourism as these travellers are what we classify as "opportunity seekers".This signature event represents a triumph of spirit offering a vibrant platform for growth and resource access. Among the luminaries are the likes of Jeff Hoffman, Evan Carmichael, and Leslie Samuel. Other accomplishments include the successful National Youth Pitch Competition, in partnership with Ministry of Finance, where the winning team of young entrepreneurs secured a lucrative prize and a pivotal exchange opportunity in Atlanta. Islandpreneur has won the backing of eminent stakeholders including the Ministry of Finance of St. Maarten, the U.S. State Department, Centrale Bank van Curacao en Sint Maarten, the Bureau for Intellectual Property and TelEm Group to name a few.
