  • Innovation continues to be a big buzzword in the digital age, with organisations, and even countries, aspiring to be ‘more innovative’. But what does that mean, and what can Caribbean countries and organisations do to better nurture and, ultimately, leverage innovation?

    We circle back to one of our earliest interviews and the interview that launched our innovation series in 2019!

    Based on his illustrious career in Engineering and Education, Professor Patrick Hosein shared his thoughts on, among other things:

    * what Caribbean countries might be doing wrong with regard to fostering innovation;

    * who exactly should be driving innovation; and

    * important elements that are still missing in the Caribbean to foster innovation.

  • In this podcast episode, our host, Michele Marius, is alone – no guests – and sharing her thoughts on a recent article published in the New York Times in which the writer allowed AI to make all of her decisions for a week.

    The article sent Michele down a rabbit hole (of sorts) and had her ponder whether, in the context of AI, we could have too much of a good thing.

  • Although we have all played video games, video games developed by Caribbean developers appear to have little or no visibility. Moreover, there is no video game development industry in the region to speak of, and the underpinning ecosystem remains underdeveloped.

    We circle back to a 2021 conversation we had with video game developers, Glen Henry, of Spritewrench Studios, and Graham Reid, of GrahamOfLegend, where they discussed the state of game development and the potential and opportunities in the Caribbean region, including:

    * the economic benefits for Caribbean countries;

    * the region’s strengths and weaknesses;

    * the business of video gaming development; and

    * advice for individuals who want to get into game development.

  • Agriculture is the bedrock of our societies and our ability to feed ourselves. However, with difficult terrain, climate change and more resilient pests to name just a few of the challenges that plague that sector, having ready access to accurate and relevant crop-related information could be a game changer for farmers everywhere.

    In this episode, Dr Haimwant Persaud of Latitude Geospatial Consulting discusses his mobile application, Latitude Sat2Farm, including:

    * how it works and the technologies it uses;

    * the types of insights it can provide farmers;

    * the benefit Latitude Sat2Farm could offer Caribbean farmers, as the region is prone to natural disasters; and

    * other tools or technologies the region should be leveraging to help us become more resilient.
