Happy New Year! We’re kicking off 2026 with real momentum.
January is already busy at Enterprise Cayman and we’re excited to be back in the room with you through our upcoming workshops, Tech Talks, and CyberSandbox sessions. We’ve also been catching up with our Business Design Competition alumni, and it’s been energising to see prototypes becoming products, teams gaining traction, and smart pivots paying off.
That’s why now is the perfect time to share: applications for the 2026 Business Design Competition are open, with a deadline of 31 January. If you’ve been shaping an idea and you’re ready to validate it, sharpen it, and get pitch-ready, we’d love to see your application. Scroll for dates, sign-ups, and ways to plug in. Let’s keep building pathways for Caymanians to learn, build, and launch.
Beyond the Pitch
very great idea starts with a pitch, but what happens next? Our Beyond the Pitch series shines a spotlight on the journeys of the 2025 Business Design Competition finalists. Months after the competition, they share how their projects have grown, what they’ve learned along the way, and what’s next for their ventures.

Meet Michael Boucher: From Intern to Full-Time In The Zone “10 years ago when I left the island I really wasn’t sure that there would be jobs for me to come back to as an engineer and now it feels like it’s only the beginning” For many young Caymanians, leaving home can feel like the only way to build a future. But stories like Michael’s show how much that’s changing.
