PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT
Nassau, Bahamas- On Wednesday, members of the Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU), the Government of the Bahamas and Cloud Carib gathered at the CTU ICT Week conference to sign a Memorandum of Understanding in support of a single regional ICT space. The Memorandum of Understanding is a testament to the member states within the CTU and Cloud Carib’s commitment to the region’s vision of a single ICT space and our focus on achieving this vision with each member state by 2030.
A single ICT space within the region would foster economic, social and cultural integration for the betterment of Caribbean citizens. Cloud Carib is committed to participating in this initiative by providing services in line with Sovereign Cloud, Data Residency, Data Sovereignty, Mission Critical Services and Cybersecurity in support of digital transformation initiatives of CTU member states.
Rodney Taylor, General Secretary of the CTU stated “We look forward to signing the Memorandum of Understanding with Cloud Carib, a CTU member, with the regional ICT infrastructure deployed, we are trying to simplify the approaches we are taking across the region to move our regional governments forward.”
“We, all CTU members, must be motivated to protect future generations. And the way we build protection for future generations is by driving a hyper-competitive market and envisioning not today’s services, but those that will protect future generations yet to be born,” said Cloud Carib CEO Scott MacKenzie during Wednesday’s press conference.
“This memorandum is simply a commitment by one member to the member states, that there is a company dedicated to the region’s vision of a single ICT space and our business is focused on realizing this vision with each member state before 2030 CTU is our means of cooperation and if this event has proven something to me, it is the commitment of the member states to realize the vision and not only to discuss and debate about change, but to act and prove to the citizens and peoples of region that we can make it happen before 2030.”
CTU’s ICT week conference continued for the remainder of the week featuring Cloud Carib and other key members within the ICT community covering topics related to cyber security, cloud sovereignty, the digital connectivity divide and more.
