In today’s knowledge economy, the capacity of a country or region to continually generate value and ensure social prosperity relies heavily in its human capital. The capacity of a country or region to promote high value-added economic activities and participate in the fast-growing high-tech sectors hinges, to a large extent, on the knowledge and specialized skills of its labor force.
Through the Education for the Knowledge Economy program, LatIPnet offers consulting and training services to support the efforts of regions and organizations in Latin countries that seek to strengthen their knowledge base and develop specialized skills. This program integrates different lines of action, including:
-
Training seminars on intellectual property and technology transfer.
-
Themed videoconferences with leading experts worldwide
-
Encounters between researchers and educators in Latin countries and leading experts worldwide
-
Immersion trips to global high-tech regions
This program also fosters the work of organizations in Latin countries that promote educational projects in science and technology. Harnessing its global contacts with universities, research centers, companies and other leading organizations, LatIPnet leverages the work of existing science and technology projects in Latin countries through partnerships that enable them to access complementary talent and resources in order to maximize their social impact.
