TCITech is a non-profit aiming to diversify the economy of the Turks and Caicos Islands through hands-on education in technology and the arts, and crowdfunding research and development projects to modernize government processes. Through tackling these issues, we will play a major part in creating the right environment to foster entrepreneurship in the careers of the future, turning our citizens into business owners; and luring some of the most successful and disruptive tech companies in the world to our country.

The outline
The Atlas Ecosystem
Atlas is the name of the proposed open-source network of government services that utilizes blockchain to:
• Create wealth by giving the government the necessary tools to craft an environment that focuses on a fair distribution of it.
• Protect privacy by tying legal person-hood to a decentralized identity, so people will be able to control their digital footprint and who accesses their data.
• Improve efficiency and efficacy of public and private services through removing human error, automating tiresome processes and lowering overall cost of production
• Seperate TCI as a unique investment opportunity thanks to the e-infrastructure Atlas provides.
who we are
Comprehensive plan to diversify the TCI Economy into Technology & The Arts, using education as the engine to drive that growth.
Jay Scott Sadler - Executive Director
Experience in finance & education industries. Director of Development at
The Manifezt Foundation in South Florida. Background in economics and finance from The University of Miami. Through his experience in the education system in South Florida, he came to terms with the impact education has on a society, and realized how drastic the need for hands-on STEAM education was in his home country, The Turks and Caicos Islands. As a visionary and futurist that keeps up with the latest technology trends, he saw the vast potential of blockchain to set TCI up as a unique investment opportunity and improve the lives of everyone in the country, and decided to take matters into his own hands.
