ACB Caribbean and Digicel have signed on as part-sponsors of the 2026 New Gen Innovators Entrepreneurship Workshop in Barbuda, signalling growing private sector commitment to youth enterprise development in the region's smaller island communities.

BarbudanGO, which leads a multi-stakeholder Steering Committee that includes the Barbuda Council and the Ministry of Education, announced the partnerships as the workshop moves closer to realisation.

The sponsorships bring meaningful corporate backing to an initiative designed to foster entrepreneurial skills among young people in Barbuda. The involvement of ACB Caribbean and Digicel — two established names in the regional business and telecommunications landscape — adds both credibility and resources to the effort.

The New Gen Innovators Entrepreneurship Workshop is structured as a collaborative endeavour, with BarbudanGO coordinating across government and civil society partners to deliver programming aimed at the next generation of Caribbean entrepreneurs.
