With the Euro being that much stronger than the US dollar in addition to lots of cool tech thing happening across the pond, I figured we’d better start paying more attention to interesting and innovative European startups and European tech news. So I came across these three European startups.

Hi there! Great idea to include highlights from the European Tech Community. We’re an active and passionate bunch over here, so its nice to see some attention from across the pond. Hopefully we can see more of the Caribbean entrepreneurial scene covered from this side! Keep up the great work!

Hey Shafqat, thanks for that! The European Community is pretty interesting and important to us here in the Caribbean as they are also heavy investors in the region especially in the Tourism industry. So we’re just helping to deepen the relationship throught his industry, so readers will definitely see more of this.

I do hope the Caribbean entrepreneurial scene gets covered from that site too, it would be great as there’s alot of great things happening and the rise of the Caribbean Web brings amazing opportunities.

if only the people around me here in Guyana understand the potential that the internet has we could do great things.
