Roundabout Adoption
In August Plato Alpha Design adopted the Independence Roundabout, as a part of an initiative by The Bahamas Public Parks and Beaches Authority. What this means is our company is now responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the roundabout that sits at the intersection of East St. South and Independence Highway. We’ve taken a lot of pride in this adoption as it represents just a small portion of our dedication to the social good of our country. We ensure the lawn is maintained, trees trimmed and that the roundabout just looks really good and presentable. If you happen to drive by you’d see two of our newly installed TriblockHR billboards. In just a few weeks we’ll welcome the Christmas season, where we will look to spread some the joy the holiday brings.

Through the academy, the selected young professionals: Acquire tools to implement and adopt policies at local and international level.

Receive mentorship and inspiration from the work of the global alumni network.
The Nassau Conference
Our CEO Duran Humes gave an insightful presentation last month during the 2024 Nassau Conference - A Masterclass in Innovation. He led a panel discussion with Plato’s good friend Onassis Nottage about the importance of digitization. It was a lively and impactful discussion before a packed room of attendees comprised of entrepreneurs, business people and thought-leaders. Humes explained multiple aspects from the benefits of moving away from the standard paper process of doing things, to the incorporation of AI in business – the pros and cons. As the leaders in digital transformation within the country, Plato Alpha Design’s presence at the conference speaks to the positive impact our company continues to make on businesses throughout our chain of islands.
