SUMMARY:Digital Transformation and Innovation School in the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:August 12\, 2024 – August 15\, 2024\nTime: 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM (UTC -4) \nLocation: CTU Headquarters\, Mary St\, St Clair\, Port-of-Spain\, Trinidad and Tobago \nMode: In-person participation \nLanguage: English [no interpretation service] \nCertificates: Certificates will be awarded to those who participate in at least two-thirds of the activities. \n  \nAbout the School of Digital Transformation and Innovation \nThe School of Digital Transformation and Innovation in Latin America and the Caribbean serves as a dynamic capacity building programme for policymakers. Through lectures\, panel discussions\, case studies and peer learning\, it delivers pertinent\, up-to-date content on analytical skills\, transformation trends and best practices. Formerly known as “The Digital Transformation and Innovation Summer School\,” the programme has been collaboratively organised by prominent entities\, including the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC)\, CAF – The Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean\, Cetic.br (Regional Center of Studies for the Development of the Information Society – a Department of NIC.br)\, the Datasphere Initiative Foundation\, and the Technical Internet Community – represented by LACNIC\, ICANN\, ISOC\, LACTLD\, LAC-IX\, LACNOG\, and Red CLARA. \nWith eight editions completed to date\, the School has evolved into a significant cooperation platform. It engages policymakers\, international experts\, and professionals from diverse sectors in an intersectoral and multistakeholder dialogue on the challenges and opportunities of digital transformation and innovation in Latin America and the Caribbean. That being said\, the School is yet to take place in the Caribbean. \n  \nWhy is a Caribbean version of the School of Digital Transformation and Innovation needed? \nIn today’s interconnected world\, the imperative for socioeconomic development through digital transformation is evident. The School recognises the specific challenges and opportunities faced by Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean\, compounded by the convergence of debt\, cost-of-living and climate crises. \nIn addressing these challenges\, the School of Digital Transformation and Innovation in the Caribbean aims to provide a tailored approach\, fostering innovation in the region. SIDS grapple with issues such as inadequate telecommunications infrastructure\, susceptibility to natural disasters\, financial constraints\, and skill gaps. Bridging these gaps is crucial to successful digital transformation\, ensuring that the Caribbean can navigate the complexities of emerging technologies and drive economic growth. A key success factor of a Caribbean version of the School would be critical analyses of global digital transformation and innovation trends and the implications of the same for sustainable Caribbean development. \nMoreover\, strategic adaptability is essential for entities within SIDS to adjust strategies promptly in response to external changes. Decision-makers must possess the agility to make quick decisions and reallocate resources based on continuous monitoring and analysis of the global digital ecosystem. This proactive approach ensures that digital transformation and innovation strategies remain pertinent and aligned with evolving circumstances. \nThe School for Digital Transformation and Innovation in the Caribbean as a four-day event\, with each day focusing on a distinct strategic thrust. One or more organising partners will be assigned responsibility for each daily segment. The event will culminate in a closing ceremony\, during which participants who successfully complete each day’s activities will receive a certificate of participation issued by the organising partners. \n  \nOrganising Partners \nCTU: The Caribbean Telecommunications Union \nECLAC: The United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean \nCAF: Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean. \nCETIC.BR: Centro Regional de Estudos para o Desenvolvimento da Sociedade da Informação \nInternet Technical Community: LACNIC\, ICANN\, Internet Society\, LACTLD\, LAC-IX\, LACNOG\, Red CLARA. \nContributing Organisations \nUWI: The University of the West Indies – Caribbean ICT Research Programme (CIRP) and Caribbean Open Institute \n  \nObjectives \nThe main objectives of the School include: \nKnowledge Enhancement: To provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of digital transformation\, including its technologies\, impact\, and potential in the Caribbean context. \nImproved Policy Development: To facilitate discussions on policy frameworks that support digital transformation\, ensuring alignment with regional and international strategies. \nInnovative Solutions: To encourage the development of innovative strategies to tackle digital challenges and leverage opportunities within SIDS. \nCollaborative Networking: To facilitate networking and collaboration among policymakers\, stakeholders\, and technology experts to promote a shared vision and coordinated efforts towards digital advancement. \nCapacity Building: To strengthen the skills and capabilities of participants to effectively engage with emerging technologies and adapt to the dynamic digital landscape. \n  \nTarget Audience \nThe School targets mid-to-senior level policymakers (at least seven years of experience) from ICT\, Finance\, Trade\, Planning & Economy\, and Legal Affairs ministries; regulators; chambers of commerce; industry stakeholders; academics; and representatives from international organisations involved in formulating or shaping public policy and strategies related to digital transformation and innovation within the Caribbean region. Maximum seating capacity is thirty six (36). A select number of participants will be granted a fellowship to attend. \n  \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:ITU Young Innovators Competition 2014
DESCRIPTION:We just launched our third of several challenges this year\, focused on ‘Smart Cities and Climate Change’. We think that some people in your network will be interested to participate. \nThe competition is open to 18-30 year-old young people from across ITU’s 193 member states. \nPartnering with the World Health Organization (WHO) we are looking for innovative ideas on how information and communication technologies (ICTs) can help smart cities to slow down or mitigate the effects of climate change and thereby improve people’s health. This might include novel technologies or combinations of existing technologies\, services\, and systems which would shape a smart city. It may focus on monitoring or reporting on climate change\, mitigating or adapting the impact of climate change on society\, or on changes in technology and society that lead to a greener community. \nSince this is a co-creation challenge\, we are looking for any useful thoughts or information which might help us\, as a community to develop the concept for a new startup. We are running the challenge in parallel with an effort to crowdsource a youth contribution to the WHO Conference on Health and Climate Change. Several of our best ideas will be featured as part of that conference August 27–29. Participants should go to https://ideas.itu.int to get more information and apply. \nWe will be accepting ideas until October 7\, 2014.  \nThe innovators who are selected as winners of this challenge by a Selection Committee of experts are invited to attend ITU Telecom World 2014. At the event itself\, selected Young Innovators will enjoy mentoring and workshops on entrepreneurial skills\, opportunities to meet and network with leading ICT players\, and the chance to showcase their projects at the InnovationSpace\, a dedicated show floor pavilion. Prize money of up to USD 5\,000 in the form of seed funding will be awarded to implement and bring to scale winning start-ups. \nThank you\, \nYoung Innovators Competition Team\nYoung.innovators@itu.int
