About CITI
We help people turn ideas into practical opportunities for Curaçao.
Who we are
CITI is a non-profit foundation, founded by Curaçao’s Ministry of Economic Development. We support innovation, entrepreneurship and digital inclusion through practical learning and collaboration.
Through workshops, training and coaching, we help people of different ages build skills, develop ideas and explore new technologies.
We also run our own online platforms, including crowdsupport.fund, the Business Toolkit, BusinessOnline and SafePlace4.me.
Our official name is Stichting Secretariaat Curaçao Informatica Stimuleringsplan, and we also use the trade name Stimul-IT.
How we work
- Inspire and support innovation and the use of new technology in Curaçao.
- Run programs for youth, entrepreneurs, and the wider community.
- Give people practical ways to take part, from a single workshop to a yearly program.
- Work with the Ministry of Economic Development, businesses, schools, and community partners.
What we believe
“We truly believe in the innovation capacity of Curaçao. Through creativity, hard work, cooperation, and the smart use of technology, we will build a thriving, resilient, inclusive, and sustainable economy.”
