Caribbean AI Hub: Future Caribbean's Global Buildathon

Future Caribbean is launching a global Agentic AI buildathon. This initiative aims to position the Caribbean as a key innovation hub for Agentic AI. Here's the thing: Future Caribbean believes this is the world's first Global Agentic AI Buildathon designed around an entire region. It brings together builders, partners, investors, and institutions. Their goal is to develop Agentic AI systems for real economies operating across islands and diverse markets. What's interesting is that Lily Dash, a Barbadian lawyer and entrepreneur, founded Future Caribbean. She sees the region as rich with talent but often constrained by fragmentation. Dash believes Agentic AI can help fragmented markets operate and compete globally. The initiative comes as the Agentic AI ecosystem experiences explosive growth. For example, OpenClaw, an open-source Agentic AI project, quickly surpassed 100,000 GitHub stars. The bottom line: This effort explores how Agentic AI can help distributed markets, like the Caribbean, operate more effectively as one.
