ICTP 013: Creating a safe space for tech entrepreneurship in Jamaica, with Ingrid Riley - a podcast by ICT Pulse - tech blog and podcast

A dozen years ago, the tech entrepreneurship space in the Caribbean is not like it is now. At that time, techies were considered outliers – an exotic and raggedly bunch who were trying to make their pipe dreams come true.

In Jamaica, the long-sunning event Kingston BETA, organised by Ingrid Riley, created a safe space for techies to share ideas, learn and network. Fast forward to today, technology and innovation are being actively encouraged in schools and by policymakers, and may even be considered mainstream.

With Kingston BETA’s final staging in June, after 11 years, we sit with Ingrid Riley to discuss her own journey, the legacy of Kingston BETA, and what might in the cards for the future.
