BRIDGETOWN, Barbados — Future Caribbean is launching what it believes is the world’s first global agentic AI buildathon designed to strengthen the Caribbean region’s economy and its connections to global markets.

In a recent statement, Future Caribbean said the initiative will bring together builders, deployment partners, investors, advisors and institutions to develop Agentic AI systems for real economies.

Founded by Barbadian lawyer, entrepreneur and technologist Lily Dash, and built from a conviction that the Caribbean has far more talent, capacity and global relevance than its current systems allow the world to see, organisers say Future Caribbean is a federated coalition bringing together talent, capital, compute, advisors, deployment partners and domain expertise to build category-defining companies.
