DIA Jamaica is an initiative created by The Trust for the Americas, an affiliate of the Organization of American States, to empower a new generation of young entrepreneurs and innovators, who will act as agents of change in their communities. Launched in 2016 with support from Founding Donor Citi Foundation and collaboration from local partner the Institute of Law & Economics (ILE), the DIA Urban Lab – part of Democratizing Innovation in the Americas program– has awarded 68 seed funding opportunities and benefited over 1,100 young people through innovation training and access to state-of-the-arts technology. The DIA Lab in Jamaica is part of the DIA regional network with chapters in Belize, Colombia, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama.
