Episode Details

Bahamas’ Minister of Innovation warns of “digital colonialism” as the nation risks losing control of its critical digital infrastructure by over-relying on foreign tech giants. He argues that true sovereignty requires the ability to audit systems, retrieve data, and switch providers — not just buy technology. Bastian calls for contracts with open standards, exit clauses, and local capacity building, ensuring Bahamians can operate, repair, and secure their own systems. This isn’t just tech policy — it’s statecraft, urging today’s generation to code the future, not just log into it.
