The Caribbean is a region of huge untapped and unrealised opportunities. Over the past fifty years, however, the region has not been able to secure the levels of economic growth rates and human development that its potential demands. One factor has been its scant attention to matters of innovation in the business, academic and government spheres. The chapter explores this conundrum and comes away with recommendations for changing future outcomes and, ultimately, fortunes.
