ST. GEORGE’S,
Grenada, Febryary 17, 2012 - Grenada’s Prime Minister, Hon. Tillman
Thomas has appealed for greater use to be made of the country’s ICT Centre for
Excellence and Innovation (ICEI).
“I urge you to make full use of the ICT
Centre for Excellence and Innovation. Get yourself trained; train your staff or
contribute to the training of our nation’s youth,” the Prime Minister said as
he addressed a recent regional ICT workshop in Grenada.
“We must develop a culture of innovation
and entrepreneurship among our people in order to make Grenada the ICT hub for
our region,” the Prime Minister said, noting that the establishment of the Centre
is an important tool in training Grenada’s youth to take advantage of the
opportunities available in the global market.
The Prime Minister, under whose portfolio
ICT falls, has reiterated his government’s support for the project which is
also available to students from the OECS and other Caribbean territories.
The ICT Centre was one of the main areas of
discussion recently between the Prime Minister and the Trinidad based Indian
High Commissioner to Grenada, His Excellency Malay Mishra, whose government was
the main partner in the setting up of the facility.
Two Indian experts are currently here
providing assistance in the development of software and other forms of training
available at the ICEI, which is housed at the headquarters of the Grenada Industrial
Development Corporation (GIDC), at Frequente.
The Centre, will next week announce a major
undertaking with an international telecommunications manufacturer for the development
of mobile applications.
