On the weekend June 6 2021 (4:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.) the School of Computing and Information Technology(SCIT) had its fourth session on Caribbean Technology Thought Leadership PODCAST series – dubbed Episode # 6 – Technology Startups – in a pandemic . With massive disruptions in the technology markets and traditional industries are being decimated , more opportunities are presented for graduates of the University to be a part of the value chain as a supplier of services even while in the school and on graduation. Arguably the job markets are also shifting as the large brick and mortar companies disappear, and particularly now since the pandemic where that trend is increasing, now should be the right time if any to start a technology startup or is it ? . In Episode # 6 , staff , students and the business community meet to discuss this as a formidable conversation with some viable next steps.
