NASSAU, BAHAMAS The government has acknowledged the need to develop local talent to support its tech hub ambitions, according to Minister of State for Finance Kwasi Thompson, who noted that an arrangement with US-based networking solutions giant Cisco would result in training for 100 local programmers.
Speaking at the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) yesterday, Thompson said: “One of the things we realized in this process was that tech companies go where talent is, and one of the things we have to do is build our human capacity. Even in discussions we had with Cisco and other tech companies about developing a tech industry, they zeroed in on the fact that we needed to build capacity in-country.”
