Vice-Chancellor's Report to University Council 2018/2019

St. Augustine Campus – Trinidad and Tobago

UWI VENTURES

The UWI has begun to forge an Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) Ecosystem for nurturing potentially innovative ideas from first concept to commercial start-up. The establishment of UWI Ventures, a holding company for UWI spin-off companies, completes the St. Augustine Campus I&E Ecosystem framework. UWI Ventures works in tandem with StACIE and the Entrepreneurship Unit. The Campus’ I&E thrust will soon be further strengthened through the incorporation of two other companies: one focussed on fine cocoa innovations and another producing asphalt based chemical coatings.
