With business, there will be economic recovery
Luz Marina Arango, Gabriel Levy and Diego Méndez also coincided in that 2023 is shaping up to be a key year for the definitive economic recovery of the sector, after several difficult years due to the pandemic.
And it is that, although the pandemic demonstrated the importance of technology and stimulated the growth and development of companies, it also generated negative effects on strategic aspects such as the microcircuit production chain, to mention just one example.
“The pandemic showed the importance of information technologies to be connected. Information technologies proved that they must be present in all sectors. This is why 2023 should be a key year for the economic recovery of the sector”, says Gabriel Levy.
“That is why Andina Link is such an important event for the sector. Because in addition to contributing to the training of entrepreneurs, it generates the ideal spaces to make investments, undertake new projects and adapt companies to the ever-changing reality of the world of technology”, he adds.
Gabriel Levy, who is in charge of coordinating Andina Link's academic agenda, points out that one of the great pending aspects of the event is to achieve the participation of mayors and officials of public entities who should attend to carry out projects that generate development in their respective regions.
“Andina Link's agenda is adequate to the reality of our country and Latin America. We do not concentrate on literature but on reality”

In addition to the economic challenge for 2023, Méndez points out that another of the great challenges for this year for technology and communications companies has to do with the issue of security.
