Deep tech and impact innovation are not terms that are readily discussed in the Caribbean tech start-up space but are considered crucial and strategic if the region wants to level up and truly punch above its weight in tech innovation and entrepreneurship. Telly Valerie Onu, of Quintessence Consulting Inc., shares with us key insights on how Caribbean countries can increase the impact of technology on their societies and how tech entrepreneurs can better access the support they need. Among other things, we discuss: what is meant by the terms, ‘deep tech’, ‘convergence economics’ and ‘impact innovation’ and the connection between them; the challenges that developers and start-ups face generally and when working with embedded deep tech; and how the tech community can leverage the opportunities in AgTech and climate financing.
