Cancun, QR. The National Chamber of the Electronics Industry of Telecommunications and Information Technology (Canieti) promotes Cuban authorities to install software maquiladoras on the island, as the US market demands more work of this type in Mexico each time failed cater for lack of engineers and “mind of skilled labor”.
Mark Erosa Cardenas, leader of the Canieti in Quintana Roo, said the proposal was made to the delegation of Cuba, who was in Cancun same week for a business meeting attended by the ambassador himself, Dagoberto Rodriguez Barrera, and a delegation of officials involved in foreign investment in the island.
Erosa Cardenas said from Cancun already maquila software for the US, Canada and UK, taking advantage of the proximity to North America, the largest consumer of software worldwide, but the demand is huge and has not qualified to make long stays in Mexico maquiladora companies staff Americans are sending to China and India.
Currently, he said, the ICT industry employs 1, 000 engineers only in Quintana Roo and supports internationally renowned companies that have based their development technological designs made by Mexicans, as BestDay or PriceTravel.
That is, there is the expertise and vision to capture this billion dollar industry, but the country is not generating the necessary professionals to seize the opportunity.
That is why we raised the Cuban delegation that came this week to present the business opportunities that are opening on the island, such as the ability to open software maquilas in Cuba, taking advantage of the training of engineers annually graduate from Cuban universities.
There is the installation of production lines, he said, it is intellectual work to develop specific programs for various industries in both the US and Canada.
The ability to install these maquilas on the island would give Mexican companies the ability to leverage lower production costs compared to what today means maquilar software in Mexico, where wages are high for this sector.
The Cuban delegation offered the National Chamber of the Electronics Industry of Telecommunications and Information Technology study the proposal; however, they advanced the field of information technology are included in the economic sectors in which the island is open to private investment.
