Caribbean Digital Innovation Incubator | Inaugural Cohort Now Open
Build the Future.
From the Caribbean.
A free, virtual programme supporting 30 high-potential founders to validate, build, and scale digital ventures across the Caribbean.
Supported by: Conecta Caribbean · CARIBEquity · IDB Lab · EU Global Gateway
What is the SOVO Incubator?
A structured, free, and fully virtual programme for aspiring and early-stage digital founders building ventures in Barbados and across the Caribbean.
Backed by SOVO Ventures — the studio behind 13+ blockchain companies — and part of Conecta Caribbean, the programme gives founders access to the same validation frameworks, expert mentorship, and regional networks that SOVO uses to build its own portfolio companies.
We focus on ventures in FinTech, HealthTech, Web3, blockchain, AI, and digital services. We take founders from idea to investment-ready.
"The Caribbean's innovation gap is not a talent problem. It is a support infrastructure problem. We're here to fix that."
