In the words of Guillermo Páez, “the key to navigating this technological landscape lies in the ability to adapt and constantly learn. Innovation is not only about creating something new, but also about redefining what exists to improve it. It is a process that encourages critical thinking, collaboration and problem solving. We do the same at Telecom, where we have managed to develop a digital ecosystem that is constantly being renewed.”

The event in San Juan is the ninth meeting of this federal cycle. The main objective of the activity is to invite collective reflection through an enriching exchange around technology and its application in daily and professional life.
