The Caribbean University- Innovation and Economic Development

  • Tewarie Bhoendradatt Member of Parliament, Government of Trinidad & Tobago

Résumé

Caribbean society needs an innova­tion-led Caribbean University system to achieve economic progress and sustainable development. The Ca­ribbean University needs to have a sustainable economy and society su­rround it so that the business of the University can become viable and the fulfillment of its mandate more mea­ningful and satisfying. Forging a part­nership among Caribbean Universi­ties together with a corresponding partnership with the Government and Business might be the begin­ning of an innovative intervention to support an innovation driven sustai­nable development initiative for the Caribbean region.
