Dear Sir/Madam The Caribbean Climate Innovation Center (CCIC) was officially launched on January 27, 2014. The Center is a World Bank financed Caribbean initiative being executed by a consortium comprising the Caribbean Industrial Research Institute (CARIRI) of Trinidad and Tobago and the Scientific Research Council (SRC) in Jamaica. The CCIC is headquartered in Jamaica and delivers its services in 14 CARICOM countries. These are Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Bahamas, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Montserrat, St.Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago. The main objective of the CCIC is to support Caribbean entrepreneurs in developing appropriate technologies suitable for the mitigation or adaptation to climate change. This is expected to be achieved through the offering of services such as, among other things, technology commercialization, market development, and access to financing, mentoring and training, incubation and CAD Lab services to such entrepreneurs. Grant funding of up to US$50,000 is currently being provided to entrepreneurs under our Proof of Concept (POC) Grant Funding Scheme. The grant is being made available to entrepreneurs within the Caribbean region with projects or prototypes in five (5) thematic areas, namely (a) Resource Use Efficiency/Recycling (b) Water Management (c) Sustainable Agribusiness (d) Solar Energy and (e) Energy Efficiency. We are pleased to advise that we are accepting applications for the POC grant funding until April 20, 2014. Please see POC Flyer attached for your information and dissemination to other persons who might be interested in obtaining grant funding for their ideas. Best regards, Everton Hanson Chief Executive Officer Caribbean Climate Innovation Center
