Haitian Tech & AI Capacity: Haiti’s push into artificial intelligence keeps moving: the Central Bank of Haiti (BRH) is weighing AI’s opportunities and risks, while four groups (Banj/ProIA, ISOC Haiti, ESIH, and ARAI) are drafting a national roadmap for responsible AI adoption. UNITECH also announced its first lab focused on cybersecurity and AI, aiming to train researchers and partners to protect Haiti’s digital and financial systems. Startup Ecosystem: The Ministry of Commerce and Industry is rolling out the AIESU project to build a network of university incubators, starting with Quisqueya University, and selecting eight startups for six months of structured support across areas like AI, health, agribusiness, and the green economy. Green Energy Partnerships: The Ministry of Public Works met Huawei to discuss smart photovoltaic microgrids and battery storage to strengthen grid resilience and support Haiti’s energy transition. Rural Infrastructure for Food Security: In Grand’Anse, road rehabilitation under PARSA is nearing completion, with concrete strip and dirt road sections helping farmers reach markets more easily. Immigration Pressure on Haitian Students: In the U.S., Haitian TPS holders face renewed fear and scrutiny after the death of Haitian student Pierre Damas Bel in Ohio, with his family and supporters linking his suicide to the stress and stigma of ICE ankle monitoring after TPS loss.
