About us

IoTlab Suriname Foundation has been operational in the Innovation Landscape in Suriname since 2013. We have created and implemented many gamified tech events that have been enjoyed by over a thousand tech students and tech enthusiasts in Suriname. They received and experienced our deep immersion approach towards innovation and many alumni found employment in the ICT market or started off their successful businesses. Currently University of Suriname (Adek), the Polytechnic College (PTC) and other institutions take structural part in our events and credit students for participation.

IoTlab has initiated many successful spinn-offs in the tech sector like the IoT Things Network ThingsCore, suported establishment of the Codettes Girls in ICT Foundation, building the IoT-Lab where prototypes come to life and more recently developed the IotLab Cloud for Education project to facilitate education providers through microservices.

The IoTLab is a very critical part of our growth strategy as we can now offer te space, tools and expertise to create market-ready prototypes from outputs of our gamified tech events using digital manufacturing. It is basically a small FabLab and we have trained & certified staff for doing the complete design cycle on IoT type projects.

IoTlab aims to become pivotal organization for teaching & development in Suriname.
