Our programs are tailored to address the unique challenges and opportunities in Kiribati’s digital landscape, empowering local entrepreneurs to drive technological advancement and economic growth.

Our key initiatives include:

  • I-Kiribati Tech Startup Bootcamps: These intensive programs focus on digital skills development, e-commerce strategies, and leveraging technology to overcome geographical barriers, preparing participants to launch innovative digital businesses in Kiribati.
  • Pacific-Focused Mentorship Network: We connect aspiring I-Kiribati digital entrepreneurs with experienced professionals from across the Pacific region, fostering valuable relationships that provide culturally relevant guidance and insights crucial for success in the island nation’s unique business environment.
  • Digital Resource Hub: Our organization provides access to essential digital tools, online learning platforms, and potential funding opportunities, specifically curated to support tech startups in Kiribati’s remote island context.

To stimulate innovation and address local digital challenges, we organize regular “Hack for Kiribati” events. These competitions encourage participants to develop creative, tech-based solutions to pressing issues such as climate change adaptation, remote education, and digital connectivity in Kiribati.

By fostering a culture of digital innovation and entrepreneurship, we aim to position Kiribati as a leader in sustainable, technology-driven development in the Pacific, creating new economic opportunities and improving digital literacy across the nation.
