Strategic Partners

Becoming a Strategic Partner

Strategic partners, in general, are Protected Cells (tenants which qualify for RTPark corporate tax incentives) which also co-invest with RTPark to promote a variety of infrastructure and market outreach initiatives in the USVI. In consideration for their financial commitments in furtherance of RTPark’s mission and mandate, strategic partners can enjoy certain performance-based “first mover advantages” to facilitate return on investment for their capital commitments.

Prospective strategic partners are intensely scrutinized for suitability and capability to deliver on their commitments. In general, we are seeking companies that can demonstrably expand our market reach, and/or materially improve the availability and scope of infrastructure-related products and services in the USVI. We do not enter into non-performance-based exclusive arrangements; the intent of our strategic partner program is to foster a dynamic and growing technology sector in the USVI economy.
