The University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT) and Youth Business Trinidad and Tobago (YBTT) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The symbolic signing of the MoU took place on Friday 30th September, 2016 at the UTT O’Meara Campus. Signatories to the document were Professor Dyer Narinesingh, President, UTT, and Mr. Shedron Collins, General Manager, YBTT.

The signing of this MoU stands to benefit entrepreneurs of UTT's Business Accelerator facility, uSTART, who now have access to increased grant funding from TTD$30,000 to TTD$50,000. Additionally, both parties will co-operate in entrepreneurial development and other areas inclusive of research and branding.

UTT's entrepreneurial ecosystem will certainly benefit from this MoU as both Institutions have now cemented a business relationship, which has facilitated the coordination of Global Entrepreneurship Week activities over the past three (3) years.
