On Friday, during the 2nd edition of the Haiti Tech Summit Summit which takes place at the Hôtel Decameron on the Côte des Arcadins (21 to 23 June), President Jovenel Moïse in his speech especially took the opportunity to praise the establishment of the technological innovation incubator "Alpha Haiti" hosted at the Complex Ciné Triomphe, Champs de Mars and inaugurated early June https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-24572-haiti-politic-moise-launches-the-technology-incubator-incubator-alpha-haiti.html

"[...] We plan to have more than 1,000 people a month who will attend the Alpha Haiti Incubator. With its rapid prototyping laboratory, Alpha Haiti will enable high-potential entrepreneurs to develop the minimal version of the product or service that will enable them to attract investors and customers [...] Our ambition is for Alpha Haiti to become the gateway to the national and regional ecosystem of technological entrepreneurship within the next three years.

Haiti Tech Summit and Alpha Haiti are examples of what is possible when young people from here and the Diaspora dream together, work together, achieve together, to give Haiti back its place in the concert of Nations [...]

To get out of the vicious circle of the informal and the little resourcefulness, we need to innovate. Alpha is the ideal place to test new approaches [...] Haiti is ready to take the turn and Alpha Haiti is the locomotive of this evolution.

[...] I invite you to take the bet with us to build companies that use technology as a lever to solve our problems. And because our solutions will be innovative, they will be exportable all over the world and will allow us to commit to the future with faith and optimism.

[...] I announce today the ceaseless establishment of a "task force" to study the conditions of the establishment of the "first national technological park". Because there is a need for an appropriate space for the valorization of ideas and innovative projects conceived within the framework of the Incubation Center. Because we must immediately assist in the development of a new sector of activity that is currently the most dynamic in the world economy, taking advantage of the experience gained by all these young Haitians graduating from the best universities in the world. Because we need to create a new high-value business sector that attracts skills and skilled jobs in the country, in the fields of artificial intelligence, biotechnology, finance, mechanics, of electronics, etc..."

In addition, it should be noted that the US Embassy in Haiti, Platinum sponsor and main partner of Haiti Tech Summit 2018, finances the participation of 25 local entrepreneurs, 50% of whom are women from different regions of the country.
