Within the context of the post-pandemic

world and the need to make

development happen where innovation is

fuel that allows Large Ocean Economies

to stand out; the OECS aspires to fast-

track the Eastern Caribbean Economic

Union through disruptions, solid

innovations and agility thereby fostering

exponential growth and inclusion for all.

In light of this, the SDM 2021 seeks to

advance all 17 Sustainable Development

Goals (SDGs) with specific focus on:

A B O U T S D M 2 0 2 1 ( 2 )

To this end, the Summit creates a space where leaders from around the world

converge to have dialogue about and agitate action towards innovative

sustainable development and growth. SDM2020 created new channels of

cooperation and laid the foundation for strong multi-stakeholder

partnerships involving Governments, private sector, development partners,

community and civic organizations in a more inclusive and cohesive

manner than ever before. All sectors recognized that our survival as a

Caribbean civilization depended on our capacity and determination to

work together.

The 2nd staging of SDM 2021 will be delivered via a consortium of 7 mega events

over 8 days spanning several months with an impressive line-up of Speakers,

Resultants and Movers!
