On October 21, 2025, the Haiti Tech Connect Podcast unveiled the inaugural Haiti Tech Connect Awards, a groundbreaking initiative designed to honor the contributions of individuals and groups within Haiti and its diaspora. These awards aim to celebrate those who leverage technology, education, social innovation, and entrepreneurship to build a more inclusive, sustainable, and competitive digital ecosystem. The awards will recognize a diverse array of talents, including individuals, institutions, startups, women, and young innovators, across six key categories: Innovation & Technology, Education & Automation, Impact & Inclusion, Leadership & Governance, Creativity & Media Innovation, and Diaspora Tech Excellence. A significant portion of the selection process will involve public voting, which will account for 70% of the total score in categories such as Young Innovator of the Year, Startup of the Year, Women & Tech Leadership, and Mayors’ Online Presence. The nomination period opened on October 21, 2025, and will close on November 30, 2025, with public voting scheduled from December 1 to December 10, 2025. The winners will be announced on December 12, 2025. For more information, interested parties can visit the official website or contact the organizers via email at hey@profitconsultgroup.com.
