Minister without Portfolio with responsibility for Science, Technology and Special Projects, Andrew Wheatley, has announced the establishment of the House of Innovation, which is the governing framework for the Jamaica National Science, Technology and Innovation Strategic Plan 2026 to 2035.

Making his contribution to the Sectoral Debate in Gordon House on Tuesday, Wheatley presented the strategy, which he said he would be taking to Cabinet soon for review and approval in the shortest possible time.

“The House of Innovation is not a building,” he explained.  “It is a blueprint – Jamaica's first unified, mission-driven framework for converting knowledge, research, and innovation into national development outcomes. And it is the governance model and operational vision for a transformed Science and Technology ecosystem”
