Tech Sector: The Jamaica Technology & Digital Alliance has opened nominations for its first tech awards, recognising work in innovation, digital transformation, education and inclusion. Entries close December 6. Innovation History: Hedley Jones built an electric guitar in 1940 and later developed guitars and amplifiers for Jamaican musicians, helping lay the groundwork for sound system culture.
