The i2i or Idea 2 Innovation is a subset of The Council for Competitiveness and Innovation (CCI). They held their launch event for the ushering in of a new year and a new group of innovators.
Background
The Council for Competitiveness and Innovation (CCI) is a supportive advisory body which was established in 2011 by the Ministry of Planning. One of their main goals is to improve and stirrup innovation in Trinidad and Tobago which will potentially aid them in their progress through the global and knowledge-driven economy.
