A handful of the world’s leading startups compete as finalists today in the annual ATECH* conference, taking place on the Caribbean island of Aruba.
Founded in 2015 by a group of local entrepreneurs, including Aruba’s Chief Innovation Officer Varelie Croes, Co.lab Co-Founders Tristan Every and Rudy Croes, and TechnologyHaus’ Kris Croes, ATECH introduced the country’s first tech conference, which set out to turn Aruba into the “Silicon Beach” of the Caribbean.
The conference now serves as a go-to resource for the island’s entrepreneurs.
“Building momentum year after year, we’ve brought together world-class founders, visionary investors and change-makers from all over the world. Having them visit Aruba – a tropical paradise that’s living up to its nickname “Silicon Beach” – it makes for a magical event,” said Aruba’s Chief Innovation Officer Varelie Cross.
The startup pitch competition offers a grand prize of $10,000 USD. The conference will discuss the future of tech, investing in startups, personal growth, and digital marketing.
“By bringing in fresh ideas, and offering a venue to introduce the island’s innovative ideas to the world, ATECH* continues to help Aruba’s promising tech scene grow,” said ATECH President Tristan Every.
