TechCayman recently sponsored ICCI student Lilian Jackson-Ebanks to join an International Seminar in AI and Business in Silicon Valley, where she attended presentations, met industry leaders and visited companies shaping the future of technology. Balancing full-time work, evening studies and family life, Lilian is part of a growing wave of Caymanians developing new technical skills and preparing for roles in data, AI and cybersecurity. Her journey is a reminder that career reinvention is possible at any stage and that small nations like ours have a vital role to play in global tech conversations. Supporting students like Lilian is part of our mission to strengthen Cayman’s tech ecosystem and expand opportunities for local talent to grow, thrive and contribute to the future of the Islands.

Earlier this week industry leaders gathered at Uncorrelated Alts Cayman 2025 to explore how blockchain and tokenisation are transforming financial services. The consensus? We're on the brink of a tech-fueled revolution that will redefine how funds, banks and financial institutions operate. David Chapman, partner at Silvermine Capital (a TechCayman-sponsored enterprise), underscored Cayman's competitive advantage during one of the panels: “There’s a willingness to learn and move fast. You’re seeing talent move here – digital asset specialists, lawyers, innovators.” He also noted that tokenisation is no longer theoretical, major institutions like Goldman Sachs are already transacting on blockchain networks and that shift will likely drive new fund formation in Cayman. TechCayman’s Head of Client Services & Operations, Jennifer McCarthy, also joined a panel titled “Intro to the Cayman Islands: A Jurisdiction of Choice for Family Offices,” sharing how immigration and relocation pathways help families establish lasting presence in this global investment hub. “Families aren’t just asking how to structure their presence in Cayman, they’re asking how to build their lives here. From immigration pathways to operational setup, we help them navigate every step. Increasingly, the decision comes down to quality of life: world-class healthcare, safety and a supportive environment where founders can live, invest and make an impact. What truly differentiates Cayman is the access – to capital, to global networks and to high-value industry events that families and founders simply can’t tap into elsewhere.” 🔗 Read the full Cayman Compass article: https://lnkd.in/eepABqBZ #TechCayman #CaymanIslands #Blockchain #DigitalAssets #Tokenisation #Fintech #AlternativeInvestments #VASP #FamilyOffices #GlobalFinance

Innovation is evolving with intent. That was the resounding message across Singapore's TOKEN2049, San Francisco's TechCrunch Disrupt and CoinAlts this October.

A few takeaways that stood out: → Institutional adoption is no longer exploratory, it's structured and resourced → AI-powered blockchain systems are enabling new forms of autonomous commerce → The proposed $100k H-1B visa fee is accelerating the move toward distributed, global workforce models → Cayman's dual expertise in fund management and digital finance is more relevant than ever Read our full insights, including what Lando Norris had to say about how the next generation views crypto. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dzwVE6rR #TechCayman #CaymanIslands #Fintech #Crypto #Web3 #DigitalAssets #AI #Blockchain #Innovation #FutureOfFinance #TOKEN2049 #TechCrunchDisrupt #CoinAlts #CaymanFinance

A recent feature from the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA), shared by Cayman Finance, explores how family offices are evolving from passive custodians to strategic investors in technology, digital assets and alternative investments: https://lnkd.in/eEyYnqMm This shift demands more than traditional infrastructure.
