Brava took centre stage at Canto 2025 last week in The Bahamas, hosting a high-profile breakfast meeting with digital ministers and policymakers from the Caribbean and Central America, including Diallo Rabain, Bermuda’s Minister of the Cabinet and Digital Innovation.

The event spotlighted Brava’s strategic partnership with Cloud Carib to keep data secure, local and compliant with regional laws.

Conor McGowan Smyth, Brava’s chief executive, told attendees: “This partnership is about more than technology — it’s about trust, resilience and regional empowerment.”

He highlighted how Brava’s subsea network and data centre capabilities had enabled Cloud Carib’s sovereign cloud to meet certifications such as System and Organisation Controls 2 Type, International Organisation for Standardisation/International Electrotechnical Commission  27001 and National Institute for Standards and Technology 800‑53.

That means customers can now remain compliant with regulations such as Bermuda’s Personal Information Protection Act and the standards of the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority.

The meeting brought together a powerful regional line-up, including Mary Mabey, senior vice-president at The Bahamas’ ATN International; Rolston Anglin, Minister for Finance and Economic Development and Minister for Education and Training, Cayman Islands; Dominic Smith, Minister of Public Administration and Artificial Intelligence, Trinidad and Tobago; and Niall Sheehy, chief executive of One Communications.

The discussion ranged across cybersecurity, data governance and the need for resilient digital infrastructure designed for Caribbean contexts.

Brava’s focus on building local talent through this collaboration was also highlighted as a major step towards a self-reliant digital ecosystem.

Brava, launched in 2024, already serves more than 16,000 customers across the Caribbean, including Bermuda, Guyana and Cayman.

Its portfolio ranges from connectivity and cloud to cybersecurity and demonstrates how the company was advancing regional digital sovereignty, the company said.
