Matthew Cowen

I’m Matthew Cowen, and I have been working in the IT industry in one form or another for around 30 years and have lived in the Caribbean for over 18 years. Lately, I’ve been concentrating on the digital ecosystems of the Caribbean and written reports analysing diverse topics such as infrastructure, cybersecurity, and the ICT market in the Caribbean. Those reports have gone to Governments, NGOs, businesses and individuals looking to invest/set up businesses that relate to tech.
