The Paraguayan technology industry continues to grow and more and more products exported. According to the National Office of Intellectual Property (Dinapi), Paraguay exported software, applications and games for $ 500,000 in 2015. While this figure is still far from the amounts that move in major markets abroad, is a good sign for the thriving creative sector.
Patricia Stanley, director of the Dinapi, noted that worldwide, the video game industry is already moving more money per year than film industries and music. He said that even more positive is the fact that this world requires training and actors from various sectors, so that energizes rather the economy.
“For a game you have to create a character, a design is required graphic, must have music, not just algorithm and programming. It involves many disciplines and we want these are, “he said.
He claimed that Paraguay has great demographic capital for the software industry through its majority young population, which urges all entrepreneurs interested by this field. The director of the Dinapi recalled that when a technological product created, this is already automatically protected by copyright.
