Grenada, located in the southeastern Caribbean Sea, has a mountainous terrain which can pose challenges to the deployment of technologies and telecommunications. The population of over 124,000 is spread across the main island and the smaller islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique. The capital, St. George's, is the most populous and technologically advanced region. The country has invested in submarine fibre-optic cables for improved telecommunications, and the National Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (NTRC) promotes the development of telecommunications and broadcasting sectors. There are initiatives to develop renewable energy, especially solar power, as Grenada is part of the Small Island Developing States (SIDS DOCK) which aims to transform the energy sector to renewable and energy efficient solutions. The technology sector is still developing, with efforts to increase digital literacy and foster technological innovation.
