The Startup Huddle St. Lucia Team at SLUDTERA, would like to invite the Secondary Schools and the tertiary level schools on the island, to participate in a monthly event called Startup Huddle St. Lucia, which will launch in November 2018. This event would serve as a very effective launching pad, to prepare the talented youth of St. Lucia, for initiatives such as these.
