regulatory environment which provides for greater government accountability, easier access to information, data security, trust and confidentiality. The challenge, therefore is for service providers to maximize the opportunities for their customers to benefit from the myriad opportunities provided by the ICT revolution and the resulting information and knowledge age. Goal 4 Use ICTs to position Barbados as a competitive jurisdiction There are a number of skilled and educated Barbadians living and working abroad in various professional fields especially in science, technology and innovation. It is imperative that we draw from this professional pool of resources to assist in the development of Barbados‟ competition position in the World. The goal is to harness the diverse, disperse and largely untapped talent of the Barbadian Diaspora especially in the areas of science and engineering. The use of ICTs can be considered an economic sector which requires the development of an enabling environment that serves as a catalyst for competing in the global economy. This environment will include political will, investments in human capital and legal and regulatory frameworks. 29
