Welcome! We are Livae, a Research & Development organization based in St. Maarten.

There is an unfulfilled potential of local research expertise. A potential that can advance independently developing knowledge and create value for our community in its entirety.

We support developing local knowledge and research capacity, to reduce dependence on external expertise and contribute to self-sufficiency.

Our applied research and project management focus on implementation, creating positive change, and having a sustainable impact.

In principle, projects must go beyond writing a report and require people to guide the implementation of solutions. This calls for commitment, which is why we emphasize on developing local expertise and professionals with strong bonds to the island and region.
