CDB and RevUP Caribbean power entrepreneurs with incubation programme

Published on September 8, 2025

The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB, the Bank) and RevUP Caribbean Limited have launched Phase II of the RevUP Caribbean Incubation Programme, a two-year initiative aimed at creating jobs, scaling startups, and strengthening innovation across the region.

Building on the success of Phase I, this next chapter will support at least 60 early-stage companies through business training, mentorship, technology support, and improved access to financing.

Phase II introduces partnerships with the Caribbean Climate Smart Accelerator (CCSA) and the Caribbean Export Development Agency. These collaborations will aid in producing climate-smart and export-oriented firms.

While partnerships with European incubators and accelerators under the EU-LAC Innovation Cooperation Initiative will also expand the Caribbean startups’ global networks.

The RevUP Caribbean programme will continue to leverage FirstAngels Caribbean and other investor networks, helping entrepreneurs connect with angel investors, commercial banks, and venture capital firms
