The University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT), in collaboration with the Airports Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (AATT), UpMarket, COSTAATT and YTEPP Ltd. will be hosting the “UTT Carnival Market” at Piarco International Airport (Food Court) on Friday 6th February 2015 from 1:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. The Carnival Night Market provides another opportunity for the University to showcase local products, talent and businesses by UTT entrepreneurs: staff, present student and alumni. An integral component of UTT’s mission as an entrepreneurial university is to ‘discover and develop entrepreneurs’, which the university facilitates by serving as an engine of innovation and enterprise and by fostering an ecosystem that supports this entrepreneurial mindset. 

The UTT Carnival Market will be the first entrepreneurship event in the country to feature Screen Lime, which specialises in integrating social media with professional events to create buzz, increase interaction and elicit feedback from attendees. Screen Lime adds to the event experience by offering a real-time social wall for attendees and entrepreneurs to interact using social media such as Instagram and Twitter. Take advantage of the opportunity to purchase handicrafts, fashion, jewellery and specialty food items produced by local entrepreneurs that will be available at the market and come enjoy the live entertainment and the scintillating sounds of the tassa and steelpan. 

To join the excitement at the event, simply snap a photo or tweet and post it live, using the hashtag #uttmarket.
