The Caribbean has long been known for its beaches, music, and vibrant culture—but now, it is quietly entering the final frontier. A new wave of technological ambition is sweeping across the islands, positioning the region as a player in the global space and AI revolution.
Small Islands, Big Dreams
From Barbados to Trinidad, Caribbean nations are investing in satellite technology, AI-driven climate monitoring, and data centers that rival global standards. This “space race” isn’t about rockets alone—it’s about securing strategic data, environmental intelligence, and technological sovereignty in a rapidly changing world.
