The Innovation Association of Trinidad and Tobago is the central place where the whole innovation ecosystem comes together — to access resources, coordinate opportunities, and grow as one connected community.
IAOTT exists to make the ecosystem work as one. We play three roles that, together, turn scattered effort into shared momentum.
One destination where every part of the ecosystem connects — people, programmes, funding, and opportunities, organised around who you are and what you need.
We link stakeholders to each other and to what they need — opening doors, reducing duplication, and aligning effort so the whole ecosystem pulls in the same direction.
We track the health, activity, and growth of innovation in Trinidad & Tobago — giving founders, investors, and government a shared, evidence-based picture of progress.
Innovation in T&T runs through seven kinds of stakeholders. Select your role to see exactly what you can access — and what you can contribute — through IAOTT.
Instead of every stakeholder hunting for the right contact, programme, or partner alone, IAOTT sits at the centre — coordinating the flow of resources and opportunities between all seven players.
As the ecosystem's measure, we keep a living count of activity across the network. A snapshot of what's moving in T&T innovation right now.
Whatever your role in the ecosystem, joining the hub looks the same.
Become a member and tell us where you sit in the ecosystem — student, founder, investor, agency, or organisation.
Tap into training, funding signposts, programmes, partners, and the opportunities relevant to your role.
Connect with other players, contribute what you offer, and grow as part of a measured, coordinated ecosystem.
Founded in 2022, the Innovation Association of Trinidad and Tobago is a non-profit membership organisation dedicated to fostering a culture of innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainable development across both islands.
Today our purpose is sharper than ever: to serve as the central hub, coordinator, and measure of the national innovation ecosystem — the single point where students, founders, corporations, NGOs, incubators, investors, and government can find each other and the resources they need.
We collaborate with government agencies, international development partners, and the private sector to build an enabling environment where ideas become real-world impact.
Our Board of Directors brings together innovation-management specialists, intellectual-property experts, and senior voices from academia, industry, and government.
A question, a partnership, a programme to list, or deal flow to access — start here and we'll route you to the right part of the ecosystem.
