This initiative proposes to harness the full potential of Information-Communications Technologies (ICT) in Puerto Rico to: a) stimulate local entrepreneurship and business creation based on Information Technology; b) increase local, U.S. and foreign investment in Puerto Rico in the area of technology; c) significantly expand employment, especially in higher paying technology-related jobs; and d) expand educational opportunities through the use of technology and high technology training, to develop a highly educated and skilled workforce.
