With companies such as VistaPrint, Conduent (Xerox), ibex, and Fusion BPO Services already making good on Jamaica’s unique competitive advantages, the Caribbean’s largest English-speaking nation is positioning itself to welcome a new wave of global businesses whose leaders are eager to seize the unique competitive advantages the country offers.
The country’s stable government and economy, along with its location, physical infrastructure, talent pool, and economic framework read like a wish-list for global supply chain managers.
Improved road networks, enhanced sea and airport infrastructure, and advanced telecommunications capabilities, supported by services such as Starlink’s high-speed satellite internet, have helped to elevate the island’s position as an international business centre.
With Kingston being, by air, just 90 minutes from Miami, some 3 hours 37 minutes from Toronto and just under 10 hours from London, the country offers significant near shore advantages for key markets.
Jamaica’s Special Economic Zones also provide the optimal business ecosystem in which businesses can flourish. Over 100 entities have been granted SEZ status in the country. This has led to exponential growth in the global services sub-sectors of BPO, KPO, ITES (IT Enabled Services), Logistics and Creative Industries.
Central to the unique value proposition that is winning over so many investors are the Jamaican people. Jamaicans are buying into the government’s efforts to catapult the country to the top of the global services sector. The workforce is already highly skilled, talented, driven and trainable. However, the government has also worked with its partners to create highly specific skills training programmes for the youth, through the HEART Trust/NSTA and projects such as the Global Services Sector Project (GSSP). More recently, Prime Minister of Jamaica, Honourable Andrew Holness established a unit with the Office of the Prime Minister to focus on skills and digital transformation.
These training initiatives ensure that there is a constant awareness and development of local talent to fit the evolving needs of the global services sector and a readiness among citizens to help build, shape, expand and enhance the sector.
In addition, powering the country’s newest thrust to sit atop the global services sector is the National Investment Policy (NIP) developed by the Ministry of Industry Investment and Commerce with support from one of its agencies, Jamaica Promotions Corporations (JAMPRO). The NIP entails a raft of economic development initiatives, framework enhancement objectives and support measures that are designed to make it easier for locals and foreigners alike to set up businesses in the country successfully.
By removing the usual red tape and bureaucracy, the country is allowing businesses to operate more nimbly, which is crucial for sustainability and competitiveness. It’s an enticing offering for business leaders eager to outpace their competitors.
The new National Investment Policy further enhances the offering of a country that has been consistently ranked in the top 10 in a number of critical international business advantage metrics.
Jamaica was ranked 6th Easiest Place to Do Business globally by the World Bank (2019); named the Best Caribbean Nation for Doing Business by Forbes (2019); rated as the Best Performing Stock Market in the World in 2015 and 2018 by Bloomberg; and ranked 9th on the innovation list of Latin American and Caribbean economies in the Global Innovation Index – WIPO.
In the last decade, business confidence in the country has increased annually by 24.1 points.

Compass Mining Partners with Synota’s “Impact Mining” Initiative to Transform Bitcoin Hashrate into Community Impact
Initial donation supports a hospital and village in Nigeria, with plans for further expansion
WILMINGTON, Del., May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Compass Mining, a leading provider of Bitcoin mining infrastructure and services, proudly announces its role as the inaugural donor to Synota’s Impact Mining initiative. Through this groundbreaking partnership, Compass is turning Bitcoin’s computing power, or “hashrate”, into a humanitarian resource: affordable, reliable energy for underserved communities.
Through this collaboration with Synota, Compass Mining aims to demonstrate another way the Bitcoin mining industry can contribute directly to energy access, healthcare, and education in underserved communities without leaving the data center.
“This is hashrate with heart,” said Paul Gosker, CEO of Compass Mining. “We’re proud to show our customers and the broader industry how Bitcoin mining can improve lives, not just balance sheets.”
Under the Impact Mining initiative, Compass Mining has directed some of the output of its mining machines to a Bitcoin mining pool configuration provided by Synota and managed on behalf of Renewvia Solar Africa, an operator of clean energy mini-grids in Africa. The revenue generated by this hashrate is used to offset electricity costs for critical infrastructure in Nigeria.
- At Oloibiri Hospital, Compass’s contribution is helping cover the monthly power bills. This allows the facility to redirect resources to patient care. Serving over 3,600 patients annually and having delivered over 34,000 babies since 2010, this hospital is now empowered to treat hundreds more.
- In Ozuzu, a rural village connected to a solar mini-grid in 2021, 150 homes, businesses, and a school are now benefiting from a 20% reduction in power costs thanks to Impact Mining. Lower energy prices mean more lighting, more technology use, and ultimately more economic opportunity.
“Bitcoin mining has always been a driver of energy innovation,” said CJ Burnett, Chief Revenue Officer at Compass Mining. “Now it’s a driver of energy opportunity. A small portion of global hashrate is delivering outsized impact for real people.”
Compass Mining views this initiative as a proof-of-concept that mining can be more than profitable; it can be purposeful. Whether through direct machine allocation or partial hashrate donations, every block solved can help power a brighter world. Looking ahead, Synota plans to expand the Impact Mining initiative and Compass Mining intends to continue the partnership.
“We’re thrilled to have Compass Mining lead the way,” said Austin Mitchell, CEO and Co-founder of Synota. “They’ve shown that any miner, anywhere in the world, can take part in Impact Mining simply by redirecting a portion of their hashrate through a shared pool configuration. It’s a small step that can make a big difference. Donating hashrate also offers tax advantages, and we’re building the infrastructure to support that.”
