Kingston Creative Prepares Creative Entrepreneurs to Go Global
Creative Caribbean Project awardee, Kingston Creative is implementing its Go Global Accelerator Programme, an entrepreneurship development initiative, with the financial contribution of the European Union and the support of the Organisation of ACP States. To kick off the 10-week programme, 12 creative entrepreneurs participated in an intensive strategic retreat weekend at the ROK Hotel in Downtown Kingston. The three-day activity was a dynamic and immersive experience that provided a platform for creative entrepreneurs to connect, learn, and grow. Participants were drawn from diverse backgrounds and creative disciplines to create their business model canvas, analyze their international growth potential, and embark on a journey towards global success. These participants were carefully selected for their innovative businesses, capacity to scale, and commitment to growing the creative economy.
The event hosted passionate and forward-thinking entrepreneurs, including Dana Baugh, Leon Robinson, Indira Boyd-Mullings, Suzette Rickman, Ashantia Stewart, Dana-Ann Christie, Edith Brown, Marlene Adolphus, Kristofferson Nunes, Kimara Chen, Camaria Robinson, and Andre Millwood. These participants were carefully selected for their innovative businesses, capacity to scale, and commitment to growing the creative economy.
The accelerator programme offers emerging businesses in the orange economy an opportunity to learn how to do business overseas. Based on their niches, we established thought leaders in their various sub-sectors and will assign mentors to each entrepreneur. At the end of the programme, two entrepreneurs from the cohort will be selected to head off to a global city, where they will be able to promote their products and services in new international markets
