For those totally uninformed, it only takes a few minutes searching on Google for "blockchain", before it become very evident that some of the largest businesses and institutions in the world, are very actively focused on embracing blockchain technology in a bid to achieve some major competitive advantage in the global marketplace.
So what has that got to do with a tiny island in the Caribbean like Barbados? Everything.
Any new and powerful technology that emerges will have a very disruptive impact on the world economy, where the fortunes of the early adopters movers and shakers will increase dramatically, while those of the latecomers and "wait and see" crowd grow more dismal with each passing day. It is now no question that blockchain technology will change the world as we know it and even a small island nation like Barbados can strategically leverage the technology.
Our vision is for Barbados to become the first true "Blockchain Nation", a country where all stakeholders from government to the business community to the average man and woman in the street, are committed to fully embracing blockchain technology as a powerful tool for driving greater and more sustainable economic development for the Barbados economy and by extension, its citizens at a personal level.
We hope you will embrace that vision and share it with every Barbadian and local business owner you know, until the vision becomes a firm reality and we are firmly on a new and exciting path to economic prosperity for all.
