Fernandez and technology

[NewsWhore]

During his address to the XIX Summit of Iberoamerican Heads of State and Government, President Leonel Fernandez urged fellow regional leaders to change their attitudes towards the growing technological divide in Latin America. Fernandez encouraged fellow leaders to try to find solutions to this widening gap. Speaking at the Summit, Fernandez said that this digital divide could lead to new types of social, economic, political and cultural divisions. Rather than feel defeated, Fernandez says what needs to be done is to change attitudes and mentalities, turning what is currently a gap into a development opportunity for each nation. Fernandez continued by saying that in the process of developing human resources, cooperation policies need to be set up between universities and research centers in order for knowledge to be passed on. Speaking on competitiveness, Fernandez declared that the new economic model should have increased competitiveness for regional economies as its goal, with better insertion in international markets.
