BERMUDA SHORTS – TECH TALKS S01 E17Jerome Wilson, Partner at Appleby, speaks with Bermuda Innovation and Technology Association (BITA) members Kevin Richards, Founder and Chairperson and Sean Stapley, Lead Sponsorship and Marketing about BITA and the “big tent” technology community in Bermuda. Together they discuss their thoughts on the ever-growing workspace of digital assets and technology, and how BITA works to place the island on the forefront of this space, creating a community for innovation to flourish and thrive. The trio consider the Association’s mission, to make Bermuda the premier jurisdiction for the governance, regulation and expansion of digital assets globally, and how the three pillars of BITA – education, advocacy and inclusion underpin this, providing a private sector conduit for international companies and innovators to access the island, and for local stakeholders to thrive and grow with their businesses through support of the sector.Be sure to connect with Jerome at Appleby, and, Kevin and Sean at BITA to learn more.
