Kingston Creative Is Getting Entrepreneurs Ready To Take On The World! The Fourth Cohort Of Passionate And Forward-Thinking Entrepreneurs Has Been Welcomed To The Go Global Accelerator Programme. This Initiative Is All About Helping Entrepreneurs In The Cultural And Creative Sector, And It’S Funded By The Creative Caribbean Grant Facility. The Programme Is A Collaboration Between UNESCO Cluster Office For The Caribbean, The University Of The West Indies, And The CARICOM Secretariat, With Financial Support From The European Union And The Organisation Of ACP States.
To Kick Things Off, 12 Creative Entrepreneurs Had An Intense Strategic Retreat Weekend At The ROK Hotel In Downtown Kingston. It Was A Dynamic And Immersive Experience That Gave Them A Chance To Connect, Learn, And Grow. They Came From Diverse Backgrounds And Creative Disciplines To Work On Their Business Model Canvas, Analyse Their International Growth Potential, And Set Off On A Journey Towards Global Success.
The Event Brought Together Passionate And Forward-Thinking Entrepreneurs Like Dana Baugh, Leon Robinson, Indira Boyd-Mullings, Suzette Rickman, Ashantia Stewart, Dana-Ann Christie, Edith Brown, Marlene Adolphus, Kristofferson Nunes, Kimara Chen, Camaria Robinson, And Andre Millwood. These Entrepreneurs Were Carefully Chosen For Their Innovative Businesses, Ability To Scale, And Dedication To Growing The Creative Economy.
Kerrie-Ann Richards, An Entrepreneur Development Specialist At Kingston Creative, Said, “This Accelerator Programme Gives Emerging Businesses In The Orange Economy A Chance To Learn How To Do Business Overseas. We’Ve Identified Thought Leaders In Their Sub-Sectors And Will Assign Mentors To Each Entrepreneur. At The End Of The Programme, Two Entrepreneurs From The Cohort Will Be Selected To Head Off To A Global City, Where They Can Promote Their Products And Services In New International Markets.”
From October 25-27, The Participants Took Part In A Series Of Workshops, Discussions, And Interactive Activities. They Were Supported By Kingston Creative Co-Founder And Chairman Allan Daisley, Entrepreneur Development Specialist Kerrie-Ann Richards, And Project Manager Dominic McDowell. The Sessions Were All About Fostering Creativity, Encouraging Innovation, And Refining Their Business Models. This Sets The Stage For The Business Capacity Development Curriculum That Will Be Delivered Throughout The Programme. By The End, The Entrepreneurs Will Be Ready To Show Off Their Competitive Advantages In The Global Marketplace.
