This exciting competition will air on consecutive nights from Monday 22nd with a Grand Finale on Saturday 27th April on TTT Limited.
This Developers Hub (D’Hub) Challenge TV Series showcases Trinidad and Tobago’s top software developers pitching their cutting-edge digital solutions to a panel of industry-expert judges. The solutions being presented will transform how key government services operate, namely the Ministry of Finance – Customs and Excise Division, the Ministry of National Security – Immigration Division, the Ministry of Health, TTPOST, and the Environmental Management Authority.
The D’Hub Challenge is an opportunity for local software developers registered on the D’Hub platform to harness their talents and address critical public sector, private sector, social, economic, and environmental needs in Trinidad and Tobago. In anticipation of the series, Ministry officials expressed excitement about witnessing the personal journeys of developers who are helping transform our digital future.
