Celebrating 10 Years of Hope, Humanity & Heritage — Inspiring the Future from Haiti to the World
For the past ten years, Haiti Tech Summit has served as a leading platform connecting visionaries who believe technology can be a force for human progress. As the world navigates rapid technological transformation driven by artificial intelligence, the summit will explore how innovation can create more inclusive, resilient, and prosperous societies.
Founded in 2017 by entrepreneur, investor, and global ecosystem builder Christine Ntim, Haiti Tech Summit was created to inspire the next generation of leaders through the power of technology, entrepreneurship, and nation-building. What began as a bold vision in Haiti has evolved into a globally recognized movement highlighting the role emerging markets can play in shaping the future.
Over the past decade, the initiative has welcomed more than 100 speakers annually and convened thousands of entrepreneurs, investors, executives, policymakers, and innovators from around the world. Originally hosted in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, the summit has fostered meaningful collaborations across sectors and geographies while promoting innovation as a catalyst for economic opportunity and social impact.
The platform has collaborated with organizations including the U.S. Department of State and has supported ecosystem-building initiatives through partnerships and programming involving Facebook (Meta), Google Startup Labs, Startup Grind, and numerous startup accelerators, incubators, and entrepreneurship organizations across the globe.
Haiti Tech Summit and its founder have been featured in leading media outlets including Forbes, Inc. Magazine, Essence, Black Enterprise, and other publications recognizing excellence in entrepreneurship, innovation, and impact.
Throughout its ten-year history, Haiti Tech Summit has welcomed an extraordinary roster of global leaders, including:
- Jack Dorsey, Co-Founder of Twitter
- Ben Horowitz, Co-Founder and General Partner, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z)
- Tim Draper, Venture Capital Investor
- The late President of Haiti, His Excellency Jovenel Moïse
- Senior executives and leaders from Google, LinkedIn, Mastercard, Airbnb, Uber, Forbes, and many other globally recognized organizations
“As we celebrate ten years of Haiti Tech Summit, we are honoring more than an event—we are celebrating a movement built on hope, resilience, innovation, and the belief that technology can help solve humanity’s greatest challenges,” said Christine Ntim, Founder of Haiti Tech Summit. “This milestone edition is an opportunity to reimagine the future and inspire a new generation of leaders from Haiti to the world.”
