ABOUT US

Deemed the “Davos of the Caribbean”, Haiti Tech Summit brings together thousands of entrepreneurs, investors, celebrities and creatives under one roof together to address humanity’s greatest challenges via tech and entrepreneurship. It is a part of a 13-year initiative to turn Haiti into an international tech hub by 2030.

WHY HAITI?

As the world’s first black independent republic, Haiti’s history and culture make it the ideal stage to gather global industry leaders, entrepreneurs and creatives in a forum to exchange and tackle some of the world’s most pressing challenges in  innovation and sustainability.

WHO ATTENDS?

The Haiti Tech Summit is for local and international industry leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, digital marketers and creatives interested in transforming the world via entrepreneurship. The Silicon Mountain, with its tropical climate and exotic beaches, is the ideal Caribbean getaway for tech enthusiasts and disruptors.
