We can also be Silicon Valley: from California to Panama City (2)

The vision of Silicon Valley in Latin America as a high space that offers the necessary conditions for research and development of technology is not an impossible dream. As we saw in our first installment, the development of a suitable field of this nature requires that multiple factors and initiatives come together to create the necessary conditions for its growth.

Latin America has faced multiple challenges in technology research and development. The year 2020 with the pandemic, has been one of the toughest challenges. Despite this, the year 2020 closed with a growth of 5.5% in relation to the growth of IT industries, according to the International Data Corporation (IDC).

Along the same lines, the IDC foresees a sustained growth of 7.7% for the year 2021, which looks really interesting and hopeful. The idea that the digital transformation of Latin America is in a process without turning back is one of the reasons that has driven Hypernova Labs to continue working on cutting-edge technology. To be a pioneer and engine of a process that will bring core and enriching changes to our region and the world motivates us.

What does the future hold in technology for Latin America?

The IDC report, published at the end of 2020, estimates that by 2022 it will have 40% of PIB digitized.

Along the same lines, they establish 10 important possible changes in the coming years in terms of growth in technology research and development:

Information schema growth in the clou

They estimate that 75% of Latin American companies will change their infrastructure for proper information management in the cloud.

Edge acceleration

By 2023, the increased need to share information in less time, with higher quality and between different devices will drive the growth of infrastructure, applications and data resources that optimize this process with edge or border technologies.

Hybrid workforce

2020 certainly demonstrated the virtues of a remote workforce. By 2023, it is estimated that 60% of the first companies in technology matters in the region will commit to creating the necessary conditions for remote work to become an active part of the workforce.

Solve technical debt

Many of the technology companies, before the emergency of 2020, were ahead of launching products and solutions to the market. Although they filled the necessary gaps, this entailed a technical debt in terms of the immediate need to improve their infrastructure, which they must solve in the short term
