The III Americas Competitiveness Forum will bring together public authorities, businesspeople, and high level experts from the 34 countries in the region in plenary sessions, roundtable discussions, simultaneous panel sessions and bilateral meetings to discuss how competitiveness can be improved in the current economic context.
During the forum, we will cover specific and urgent problems that hamper our competitiveness. We will discuss such issues as the access to financing; the quality of our infrastructure; access to clean and low cost energy; and the challenge of balancing economic growth with environmental protection, among other topics.
Along the same lines, we consider it crucial to discuss what platforms allow countries to truly increase their productivity. We will ask substantial questions about how to develop talents for the knowledge economy. We will debate about the ways in which TICs could be massively distributed in our companies, especially the smaller ones. We will see innovative experiences in our increasingly important food industry, and discuss the importance of cultivating a culture of entrepreneurship in each country.
These are important topics for economic progress, which the leaders of the Americas and the Caribbean cannot put off, for they will remain on the top of our competitiveness agenda beyond the current global financial crisis.Participating in this dialogue with the most influential group of leaders of the hemisphere is a great opportunity. On this website you will find all the necessary information to join this event and form part of the most relevant conversation for the future of this region.
Sincerely,
Hugo Lavados
Minister of Economy,
