Organisers of Tech Beach Retreat have signed global tech giant Google and regional conglomerate Massy Group as lead sponsors for its conference in Jamaica scheduled for December 4-6 in Montego Bay.

These sponsorships mark a significant milestone in the conference’s mission to transform the Caribbean’s digital landscape as they bring together the expertise of a world leader in technology innovation in Google and one of the Caribbean’s largest and most diversified investment holding companies Massy.

“TBR supports the digital transformation, investment and ecosystem ambitions of numerous corporates, governments, startups and investors. We are thrilled to once again have the buy-in and confidence of technology leader Google and Massy to partner on new and innovative solutions to build their businesses and benefit the overall ecosystem. Their investment will enable us to create an even more impactful experience for our attendees and further our mission of positioning the Caribbean as a global tech hub,” said Kirk-Anthony Hamilton, co-founder of Tech Beach Retreat.

The sponsorships will enhance Tech Beach Retreat’s ability to bring world-class speakers and thought leaders to the Caribbean, provide enhanced networking opportunities for attendees, and facilitate knowledge transfer between global tech leaders and Caribbean innovators.

For Google, this third partnership with Tech Beach provides the company with access to a significantly diverse audience, as the conference enables the tech giant to engage with “players we otherwise don’t get to interact with.

“TBR helps increase our visibility in communities that matter but are sometimes overlooked and gives our executives the room to communicate the work we are doing to impact the world. We’re excited to discuss closing the gap between the Caribbean, Latin America and AI,” Google continued.

Tech Beach Retreat continues to serve as a catalyst for technology and innovation in the Caribbean, bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, and tech leaders from around the world. The upcoming event will feature keynote speeches, panel discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities designed to foster collaboration and drive regional innovation.

It is for this reason Caribbean-born investment holding company Massy believes the conference is a perfect fit, as it aligns with “our commitment to data-driven innovation [which] embodies our dedication to sustainable growth.

“This approach paves the way for a future that benefits both our customers and our shareholders,” the regional investment company added.

Kyle Maloney, co-Founder of Tech Beach Retreat, acknowledges that the conference, which has been held in Miami, Florida, and the US Virgin Islands, would not be possible without sponsorships like Google and Massy.

“In aligning with our vision to create a holistic space for like minds in technology, innovation and investment, we have been able to collaborate with some of the best talent on the planet on groundbreaking ideas, to change the world. Having a global giant such as Google paired with a regional powerhouse like Massy is the kind of results we pursue – attracting global influence and while elevating regional excellence in a mutually beneficial environment,” he stated.

For this year’s existing roster of presenters, Tech Beach has enlisted James Mcletchie, group chief financial officer, Massy Group; Hans Malzar, head of gaming, Americas, TikTok; Raamel Mitchell, director – App, Innovation, Data and AI, Microsoft; among others.
