OVERVIEW

In addition to offering a highly favorable investment climate for foreign companies—including low energy and labor costs, an educated workforce, a stable and growing economy, an excellent, central location, and economic incentives, among others—Trinidad and Tobago delivers both the infrastructure and human resources necessary to become a major hub of Information Communications Technology in the Western Hemisphere.

ADVANTAGES

A strong and growing technology infrastructure: As of now, telephone subscription costs are lower than Singapore, India or others in the Caribbean; internet affordability is competitive; and internet-based payment systems are widely used.

In a nation by nation overall infrastructure comparison, Trinidad & Tobago ranks among the best in the Caribbean in terms of ICT sector readiness and growth. Information Communications Technology training within public education is strong, with excellent math and sciences curricula and widely available internet access.

Throughout our public education system, we’re moving innovative technology from the classroom to actual production usage.

Trinidad and Tobago’s well-educated, English-speaking population is naturally well prepared for call center staffing.  In addition to infrastructure and education, Trinidad and Tobago’s economy and finance sectors are strong and stable enough to attract the venture capital necessary for expansion.
