MIIC’s MSME Business Pitch Competition Winner Christopher Bennett: Transforming Education through Innovation

Christopher Bennett, founder of Edunomics Limited, is a trailblazer in e-learning, revolutionizing education by bridging the gap between qualifications and employment. Established during the COVID-19 pandemic, Edunomics initially offered classes for CXC exams. However, Bennett’s vision quickly evolved as he realized the potential of online certifications as cost-effective alternatives to university degrees.

The MSME Business Pitch Competition, held by the Ministry of Industry, Investment and Commerce (MIIC) in collaboration with the Development Bank of Jamaica, was a defining moment for Edunomics. The $300,000 cash prize played a pivotal role in launching its Heart Trust certification programs and achieving AMCA certification status. These milestones have enabled Edunomics to expand its range of training courses, particularly in professional skill certifications.
