In a significant recognition of technological advancement, Flow Cayman has received the National Recognition Award from the Cayman Islands Government for its transformative role as a ‘Builder of Cayman.’ The honor was conferred during the National Heroes Day ceremony on January 26, celebrating the connectivity provider’s sixty-year partnership in developing the archipelago’s communications infrastructure and digital capabilities.
The award highlights Flow’s pioneering achievements, including the historic June 2024 deployment of the Caribbean’s first operational 5G network. This milestone established the Cayman Islands as the region’s inaugural territory to experience fifth-generation mobile technology through the activation of Flow’s initial 5G-enabled cell towers.
Bruno Delhaise, Country Manager of Flow Cayman, emphasized that “this national recognition reflects a relationship built on trust, service and purpose.”
The company’s contributions extend beyond connectivity infrastructure. Through collaborative initiatives with government entities, private sector organizations, and community groups, Flow has established comprehensive digital pathways for Caymanians. These include vocational training programs and apprenticeships that foster local careers in technology and engineering, alongside specialized programs assisting small and medium enterprises in digital commerce and scaling operations online.
Susanna O’Sullivan, VP of North Caribbean at Liberty Caribbean (Flow’s parent company), outlined the company’s transformation from traditional telecommunications to technology-first services: “In our evolution from a traditional telco to a technology-first company, our objective is to turn network capability into tangible outcomes for Caymanians.”
O’Sullivan further detailed these outcomes as encompassing “faster, more reliable services but also better healthcare access, more resilient public services, safer and more efficient businesses, and expanded economic opportunity for people across the islands.” She committed to honoring the recognition through continued investment in “people, partnerships and programmes that deliver measurable social and economic value.”
The executive also acknowledged Flow’s local team, recognizing their essential role in achieving this milestone and inspiring continued community development.
