SEEd incubator

Standardised Yet Customized: Our SEED Curriculum is built on a standardised framework to guarantee quality, accountability, and alignment with international best practices (CEFE, PMP, and ISO 20700:2017). Within this structure, each enterprise follows a customised pathway. Modules are adapted to reflect the enterprise’s sector, stage of growth, and cultural realities. This balance ensures consistency of standards while delivering relevance and impact for every incubatee.

Our sequencing is informed by respected global models such as the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women initiative, but it is not a copy. The originality of the SEED Curriculum lies in its Caribbean grounding, integrating local business realities, rural cooperative experiences, and regional market dynamics. The result is a curriculum that is globally benchmarked yet authentically Caribbean, designed to deliver impact in our context.
