If the Caribbean and other developing countries want to build sustainable economic resilience, innovation can no longer be just a buzzword. It has to be developed and nurtured in an ecosystem where talent meets opportunity, capital, and global vision.

On this week's episode, we are joined by Shergaun Roserie and Keeghan Patrick, the Co-Founders of Orbtronics, a tech and innovation firm based in Saint Lucia, to discuss innovation. During our conversation, we also explore:

* whether innovation is resource-driven or mindset-driven;

* the catalyst for launching the Orbtronics Innovation Summit;

* how established Caribbean institutions start taking calculated risks and fostering innovation; and

* their message to Caribbean youths who are tinkering with code, robotics, or an idea.
