Christal Oliver, Creative Director of Olive Art Designs, joined a delegation of twenty young Caribbean entrepreneurs at the 2019 Caribbean StartUp Summit, held in Barbados from May 24-25, 2019.
Over the course of two days, the business-owners, ranging from fashion designers to technology startup founders, attended a series of sessions featuring regional and international speakers who spoke under the theme “Mindset, Skillset, Reset”.
Through these talks, the attendees were exposed to new ideas around attracting financial investors, design thinking and the importance of maintaining positive mindsets for business success.
The entrepreneurs also had the opportunity to network with seasoned business leaders and representatives from non-governmental organisations as well as to discuss the challenges of running a startup in their respective countries and the developing regional business landscape.
