Costa Rica's Digital Transformation Strategy
The Ministry of Science, Innovation, Technology and Telecommunications of Costa Rica (Micitt) has presented its Digital Transformation Strategy for 2023-2027. This strategy focuses on developing digital citizenship, which includes advancing tools such as certified digital signatures, digital identity, services, and digital skills. Additionally, it aims to enhance governance through data, interoperability, and the updating of the Regulations for digital transformation.
"The world is currently experiencing a Fourth Industrial Revolution, and Costa Rica must take full advantage of the opportunities offered by the digital economy. Our country is making important progress in this area," stated Paula Bogantes, the head of Micitt. She emphasized, "It is fundamental to maintain constant and innovative work in order to provide an ecosystem that delivers quality public policy products that are accessible and comprehensive. Above all, these must respond efficiently and quickly to those who are our reason for being: the citizens."
Paula Bogantes also noted, "It is necessary to transform companies and State institutions in harmony with the productive sectors, utilizing information and communication technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, Big Data, and cloud computing, among others."
