THE ASK · 2026 PARTNERSHIP TIERS
Three ways to power 2026
Choose the tier that matches your appetite. Every tier carries full named-partner attribution.
MAJOR NATIONAL COHORT
Name a Jamaica or Trinidad & Tobago cohort — the two largest national contingents (19 Jamaican / 16 T&T scholars). Country-segmented impact report, national press placement, UWI Mona / UWI St Augustine acknowledgement.
SMALLER NATIONAL COHORT
Name a Barbados, Saint Lucia, or OECS-bloc cohort — smaller contingents with focused regional reach. Named LinkedIn moments for every scholar, country-tailored impact note.
SINGLE COMPONENT
Sponsor a single component — one named scholar, the comms package, or a graduation moment. Branded touchpoint with full attribution.
Looking to lead the full cohort? Lead partner packages from US$35K — full 50-scholar attribution, speaker slot at graduation. Talk to us →

WHY NOW
The 2026 story is being written. Be in it.
Orientation 20 May · Programme starts 1 June
Scholars are selected and onboarded. A partner’s investment goes directly into delivery — not speculative programme-design overhead.
Brand on every announcement
55 scholar announcements roll out from the second week of May. Joining before then puts your brand on every release.
Regional category leadership
No comparable Caribbean healthcare-AI pipeline exists at this scale. Owning this category in 2026 is a one-off institutional opportunity.
