Innovate Gonave

There is a high-tech research park in Tallahassee, Florida that has many companies that have come together to create a eco-system of knowledge.  Similar to Silicon Valley in California, this research park has the cooperation of local universities, businesses, researchers, start-ups, venture capitalists, the city and state.  With all of this cooperation several labs and big companies call the park home.

Currently the city of Albuquerque, NM is also doing something similar.  Two large national labs call the city home, in addition, you also have the state's largest university, University of New Mexico, along with many investors.  So the city and university are developing a similar park in two locations in the city, with the hub being downtown.

What does this all mean for Gonave?  High tech jobs not only boost the economy, but you also become a magnet for bright minds.  You get large sums of investment from companies, you get attention of research companies and governments the world over.

This can help the residents on Gonave by establishing companies for them to work in, and attract bring minds.  This will move the economy and create additional support companies which again need locals to survive.  The wages for these jobs will be much less than research jobs, but more money than most places in Haiti.

This can be achieved by a careful plan with leadership on Gonave, Haiti, foreign governments, and universities.  I have started the dialog with a university that has built a hospital on Gonave.  Who knows what could happen, but a similar park with labs and support companies could happen if the people of Gonave choose to.

Go Gonave!

La Gonave could serve as the template for all of Haiti

La Gonave has an opportunity to do it right the first time.  Meaning that if the right people get involved and their goal is to help the Haitians to help themselves, then La Gonave could serve as the template for Haiti. La Gonave has many advantages over the mainland.  For one, with a smaller population the needs of food, housing, water, etc are less, so programs that are developed could easy cover this small population.  La Gonave is a blank canvas, so streets can be placed based on results that other cities around the world have tried.  La Gonave can build it's economy on just about any industry, although tourism and agriculture are probably the prime industries.  The list goes on and on. My point is that if done correctly, and La Gonave is a modern and vibrant place.  If La Gonave could have the majority of it's population literate, and that there are enough schools for every child.  If La Gonave could have a strong economy similar to the Baham...

Carnival Cruise to build port in Haiti/Carnival Cruise yo bati pò an Ayiti

I remember early on when writing this blog, I stated that Gonave should have a cruise company build a port in Gonave, and it would be a major boost to Gonave's economy.  I was told by a local group who wants to turn Gonave into its own country, that I was incorrect.  They said cruise companies don't build ports and that the local municipality has to do that.  Of course that is incorrect!   I knew this because once taking a cruise myself Carnival mentioned they built a port in Cuba and are waiting for the US to overturn somethings so that cruises from America to Cuba can happen.  So again Gonave, be sure you know who you are listening to, and what their goals are.  Here at Let's Build Gonave Haiti, we have a core group that does research before we speak. With that said, Carnival is building a port in Northern Haiti.  Check out the information here .  Now some feel cruise companies take the profits back to their home countries.  While that i...

Flag of Gonave?

Image
I created the image below.  I will explain why I choose the colors I choose. So three basic color were chosen to represent the future island nation of Gonave, which are yellow, sky blue, and green. I did research on flags, and why colors should be chosen, what colors shouldn't be put on a flag, the meaning of colors, how not to over complicate a flag, and make sure that a made can easily be remember by school age kids. So here it is, and I will explain the colors. First off, the green portion of the flag represents the green lush vegetation of the island.  It also means a land rich with fertile soil which provides the energy of it's people. The blue portion represents the bright skys over the island of Gonave.  The color is a sky blue, which shows a cloudless day, one with no storms, but of a clear day.  It also means that the sky is the limit.  Finally yellow represents the sun.  The sun is shining on a lush green nation on a cloudless day,...
