Jamaica's push toward a robust digital economy is not happening by chance. It is being driven by decades of strategic advocacy. Many know the Jamaica Technology and Digital Alliance (JTDA) for flagship initiatives such as the annual BizTech Conference, but its roots run much deeper.

Raquel Seville, the current President of the JTDA, joins us for a conversation on the organisation, including:

* What it means to "Empower Locally, Lead Globally";

* The biggest hurdle local founders face when trying to scale their products for international markets;

* The JTDA's role in shaping the AI policies that are being developed locally and regionally; and

* What she would like to achieve before she demits the role of President.
