Director of Corporate Affairs with Digicel (Barbados)
Limited, Alex Tasker, spoke to the importance of such
a contest to Barbados’ continued commercial
development:
“As a telecommunications company which is fully
engaged with its customers we are completely aware of
their desire, particularly that of our business
customers, to utilize technology to enhance the
efficiency of their operations, as well as their
commercial activity. We are also fully aware that there
are a great number of savvy and technologically
minded persons here in Barbados eager to showcase
their skills, all while contributing to the growth of the
local economy.”
“Digicel saw this partnership with the BCSI as a
perfect opportunity to jumpstart the interaction
between these two groups, with a view to propelling the
country further into the new age where mobile
accessibility is now more than just a concept, but a
reality which businesses need to face”, Tasker added.
The Industry Genius is one of the major events being
held during National Services Week in November 814th and the BCSI is pleased to partner with Digicel on

an integrated mobile app industry that has both local
demand and export potential from its inception.
