Digital Nomad Summit Santo Domingo 2026 positions Dominican Republic as the “Japan of the Caribbean” for Global Talent, Capital, and Innovation

Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic — August 6–7, 2026 — The Dominican Republic will host the Digital Nomad Summit (DNS) 2026 organized by Successment at Hotel Catalonia Santo Domingo, convening 200–300 invited global leaders at the intersection of startups, real estate, mobility, and tourism infrastructure.
More than a conference, DNS is positioned as an economic fusion point-bringing together international founders, investors, policymakers, and Dominican entrepreneurs to activate a globally competitive innovation ecosystem built from Santo Domingo.

“This is not a lifestyle retreat,” said Jonathan Joel Mentor, Founder of Digital Nomad Summit and CEO of Successment. “DNS is where capital, policy, and operators converge to build scalable companies and long-term economic infrastructure. We are positioning the Dominican Republic as the ‘Japan of the Caribbean’: efficient, export-oriented, and globally competitive.”

Why Santo Domingo, Why Now

With expanding digital infrastructure, a strategic geographic position, and a rising startup base, Santo Domingo is emerging as a platform for globally distributed work and investment. DNS 2026 amplifies this momentum by aligning public-sector leadership, private capital, and international operator talent into a single, outcome-driven forum.
