The presence of the Antigua and Barbuda International Institute of Technology (ABIIT), and the cadre of trained and certified technicians being produced, represents a strength on which to build. Prior to regulatory and legal challenges, the number of sports-book and gaming operators in Antigua and Barbuda was testament to the quality of people and telecommunications infrastructure, which supported these operations. In fact, several thousand well-trained employees and a marked increase in commercial space were by-products. This combination allows for a resurgence of the internet gaming sector and for immediate upgrade to business process outsourcing.

Additionally, being situated in the “heart of the Caribbean”, the twin- island nation can further exploit its potential in logistics, business support and financial services. To complement and support these operations, the presence of several international banking institutions, in addition to global correspondent banking relationships, can facilitate operations in these sectors.
