The government of Curaçao planned to promote the Smart Nation Curaçao Platform to a global audience. They did this through a VIS2019 session entitled ‘Curaçao: The Smart Island’ which had a number of high-level speakers.

 

Through connections made during VIS2019, Curaçao is now a flagship nation in the Caribbean for ‘The Commitments Accelerator for Plastic Pollution’ (CAPP). Following the positive response of their session and the connections made at VIS2019, the government of Curaçao decided to also sponsor VIS2020. This included a panel session entitled ‘Island 2 Island Solutions: Curaçao’s Technology Driven Companies’.

 

This year the @HOME in Curaçao program also chose Island Innovation’s ‘Adapting Tourist Destinations for Remote Workers & Digital Nomads in 2021’ webinar for its launch.

Several years ago, the government of Curaçao launched the Smart Nation Curaçao Platform, part of a phased long term vision and strategic plan towards the development of Willemstad, the country’s capital, as a Smart City and Curaçao as a Smart Nation. The Ministry of Economic Development of Curaçao decided to sponsor the first Virtual Island Summit in 2019.

One of the main objectives of sponsoring the VIS2019 for Curaçao was to highlight the Smart Nation Curaçao Platform to a worldwide audience. The dedicated VIS2019 session connected participants with other experts and organizations, in addition to over 5,000 attendees from across the world.

 

The Ministry of Economic Development of Curaçao were pleased with the positive response they received from their session at VIS2019, so also sponsored the Virtual Island Summit 2020. This included a session moderated by Vanessa Toré entitled ‘Island 2 Island Solutions: Curaçao’s Technology Driven Companies’ which showcased home-grown businesses and solutions from Curaçao which are available internationally. The VIS2020 reached over 10,000 attendees worldwide. Additionally, Vanessa became a VIS2020 Ambassador and helped to promote the event on the island.
