The Collectivité de Saint-Barthélemy, also known as COM St-Barth, is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for its residents and visitors. Located on the picturesque island of Saint-Barthélemy, this public entity is committed to providing a wide range of services, including public health initiatives, infrastructure maintenance, and community engagement programs. The organization collaborates with regional health agencies and observatories to address the healthcare needs of the population, ensuring accessible and high-quality services. Additionally, COM St-Barth actively involves citizens in decision-making processes through consultations and feedback mechanisms, fostering a community-driven approach to governance. Their efforts are aimed at creating a sustainable and thriving environment for all who live and visit the island.
The Collectivité de Saint-Barthélemy also manages the Saint-Barth Internet Exchange (SBH-IX), a crucial infrastructure project aimed at enhancing local, regional, and international connectivity. The SBH-IX facilitates the interconnection of networks from various telecom operators within Saint-Barthélemy, significantly improving internet service quality and reducing latency for users. This initiative not only boosts the user experience by keeping traffic local but also opens up opportunities for new digital services and content activities for local businesses. The SBH-IX project is part of the broader CARIBIX Project for the French Caribbean islands, and it is temporarily managed by the local government until the SBH-IX organization is officially established as a legal entity.
