We’ve invited problem solvers, big thinkers and go-getters, to take part in the 3rd annual Cayman Islands Business Design Competition. Join us for a livestream event showcasing the top finalists who have had one month to work with industry professionals and streamline their idea. Watch teams compete for over 10K in cash and wraparound business services – think "Cayman Islands Shark Tank".

This is the first year that the “Pitch Day” will be livestreamed on the Enterprise Cayman YouTube channel thanks to support from Silver Palm Studios. Individuals that tune-in to the livestream event will also have the opportunity to vote on the "People's Choice Award".
