Liberty Business, the business-to-business arm of telecommunications provider Flow, reaffirmed its commitment to accelerating Barbados’ digital future at the 2025 Government Innovation Summit, held recently at the Hilton Barbados Resort.

Speaking at the high-level forum, Daniel Neiva, chief commercial officer, business-to-business, Liberty Caribbean, praised Barbados for its unique combination of talent, leadership, and ambition, describing it as a “powerful force for driving digital transformation”.

“Barbados stands apart because of its extraordinary balance, confidence, speed, and humility, supported by a strong foundation in education. With one of the highest literacy rates in the world, this nation has built an exceptional talent pool. The question now is how we can work together to ensure this talent is ready for the digital era,” Neiva said.

Neiva emphasised that when talent, leadership, and ambition align, “the potential is extraordinary”, and highlighted Liberty Business’ belief in partnership as the key to national progress.

“At Liberty Business, we believe in collaboration, working hand-in-hand to build a digital future that strengthens Barbados’ economy, Government, and communities. Digital transformation isn’t just about technology. It’s about empowerment; enabling people, businesses, and institutions to grow,” he said.

Referencing the Government’s focus on modernisation, Neiva pointed to progress already visible in e-government solutions, such as digital documents, online tax portals, and 24/7 access to connectivity. These innovations, he noted, make public services more efficient while also unlocking new opportunities for entrepreneurs and small businesses, the backbone of the economy.

Neiva also underscored the broader benefits of connectivity adding: “As broadband penetration grows and digital maturity deepens, we see direct gains in GDP, sustainability, and community well-being. Digital access fuels innovation, inclusion, and economic resilience.

Liberty Business has concretised its role as a strategic digital partner, leveraging the company’s regional scale and global expertise, with key partnerships, to accelerate transformation and drive national development.

The Government Innovation Summit, held under the theme This Is How We Do It for You!, brought together senior Government officials, technology leaders, and industry partners to explore the future of connectivity and the practical steps needed to advance digital public services.

Among those in attendance were Desron Bynoe, vice-president and general manager, Flow Barbados, who also delivered remarks, and Minister of Industry, Science and Technology Senator Jonathan Reid, who moderated a panel discussion.

Liberty Business continues to serve as a trusted partner, strategic advisor, and collaborative ally to governments across the Caribbean, co-creating secure, scalable, and sustainable technology solutions that translate innovation into tangible public value. (PR)
