The Centre for Strategy and Competitiveness (CSC) was established in 2011 with the aim of becoming the leading competitiveness institute in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The Centre’s philosophy involves a holistic approach towards competitiveness that is focused at both the micro and the macroeconomic level. The efforts of the Centre are geared towards improving the competitiveness of organizations, regions and economies. This is done through research in the areas of economic diversification, cluster development and issues related to competitiveness in the Caribbean.

The Center also provides customized strategic business services, training and consultancy services that are designed to inform policy formulation and implementation at the national and regional levels.

CSC is an affiliate institute to the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness (ISC), led by Professor Michael E Porter at HBS.
