The City of Port of Spain

Making Port of Spain a Smart and Brighter City

Trinidad and Tobago may not be a Silicon Valley nation but we can start by being “smarter” with finding more innovative ways to becoming a smart city by embracing the digital transformation that’s reshaping cities across the world,as for years the city of Port of Spain has been considered the metropolitan capital of the Caribbean.

A direction which perhaps goes beyond the use of smart phone devices,and activation smart plans for accessing social media, but rather it’s the amalgamation of local government, city councils, businesses, institutions and citizens to achieving digital transformation.

Smart cities are changing how they engage with residents, how they design and deliver services and how they create economic opportunities for local businesses in the digital era within cities where modern technology and information, sharing becomes the platform for smart changes, using bright ideas for the advancement of the city.
