As the global economy shifts toward sustainability and innovation, small island nations like the BVI have a unique opportunity to lead—not follow. This session explores the emerging industries that align with our natural assets and national identity: blue economy sectors like marine research, aquaculture, and ocean tech, and green economy opportunities in renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, eco-tourism, and the circular economy. What bold investments and policy shifts are needed to make these industries real engines of growth? And how can the BVI position itself at the frontier of climate-smart development in the Caribbean?
