Costa Rica is positioned as a strategic IT hotspot due to its stable political environment, skilled workforce, strategic location, and business-friendly climate. The country has a growing tech industry exporting over $3 billion annually in digital services. Costa Rica attracts investment through incentives like free trade agreements, free zones, and a well-educated English-speaking workforce. Companies establish operations in Costa Rica to access US and Latin American markets while benefiting from lower costs compared to developing games and software in North America.

Brain, spine and orthopedic surgical procedures represent more than $20 billion in U.S. healthcare expenditures. As our population grows and ages, the incidence of neurological, spine and orthopedic related disorders and diseases will continue to rise. Under the irons of declining revenues, payor reimbursements and advances in minimally invasive surgical procedures, hospitals, health systems and physicians are starting to understand the major importance of defining themselves by niche programs – Centers of Excellence (COE).

Best Practices in Cancer Survivorship and Supportive CareAkinAkinsanya
"Early detection, better diagnostic tools, and more effective treatments are resulting in long-term cancer survivorship, with 62% of adults and 77% of pediatric cancer patients now living more than 5 years beyond their initial diagnosis.
While survival rates are rising…according to the National Cancer Institute there are nearly 12 million cancer survivors in the United States. The hurdle now facing many cancer survivors is how to achieve long-term quality of life after treatment has ended. According to the National Action Plan for Cancer Survivorship, fully one-third of survivors say they experience ongoing physical, psychological, or financial consequences of their cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Recognizing the need for a comprehensive approach to long-term survivorship care, many academic medical centers, community hospitals and oncologists in private practices are developing survivorship care programs to manage the ongoing care of their patients. In planning survivorship services, however, we need to delineate survivorship from other periods of care, so we take a pragmatic approach and define survivorship as the period in which patients treated with curative intent have completed their initial therapy and require follow-up care.”

On March 22, 2017, the Government of Canada released its “Innovation Budget”, in which it proposed, “To invest up to $950 million over five years, starting in 2017–18, to be provided on a competitive basis in support of a small number of business-led innovation ‘superclusters’ that have the greatest potential to accelerate economic growth.”
It is in this context that leaders of industry, industry associations, research, and post-secondary education from across British Columbia have come together to discuss BC’s global positioning, competitive strengths, and cluster capabilities.
The objective of this document is to describe the existing set of strengths and capabilities in BC that are foundational to the growth of a digital technology supercluster in the province.
This document is intended to serve as a key input to the national discussion on creating world-leading clusters and partnerships in Canada.
It is a precursor to any formal letter of intent or proposal to the national supercluster competition announced by Canada in the March 2017 budget.

Market Sizing Analysis: Assessing The Scale Of The IT Staffing Market & Gig E...Uche Igboanugo
This project focuses on conducting a comprehensive market sizing analysis of the IT staffing industry and assessing the scale of the gig economy within the technology sector. The project aims to provide insights into the current state and future growth potential of these two interrelated segments. Through a combination of data collection, industry research, and analytical techniques, the project will delve into key factors such as market trends, demand-supply dynamics, emerging technologies, and the influence of remote work trends on the gig economy. The findings from this analysis will contribute to a better understanding of the scope and opportunities within the IT staffing market and the broader gig economy landscape.
Key Objectives
1. Estimate the size and value of the IT staffing market, considering various segments such as permanent, temporary, and contract positions.
2. Analyze the growth patterns, challenges, and opportunities within the IT staffing sector.
3. Assess the scale of the gig economy in the technology industry, including the prevalence of freelance, remote, and project-based work.
4. Investigate the impact of technological advancements and remote work trends on the gig economy's expansion.
5. Provide actionable insights and recommendations for businesses, policymakers, and professionals seeking to navigate the evolving landscape of IT staffing and gig economy trends.
Outcome: The project will culminate in a detailed report that presents the findings, analyses, and conclusions drawn from the market sizing assessment. The report will be a valuable resource for businesses, investors, policymakers, and industry professionals aiming to make informed decisions in the context of the IT staffing market and gig economy dynamics.
- India has the 7th largest economy in the world and is one of the fastest growing. It has a mixed economy and a large services sector.
- Agriculture and related industries remain important but the economy is becoming more industrialized and specialized in services like IT. Infrastructure development is a priority.
- The economy faces issues like uneven development, poverty, and corruption, but reforms continue and growth rates have been high in recent decades.
This KPMG report card puts the performance of BC’s technology sector squarely in front of all British Columbians. The report card clearly shows that technology is a cornerstone of the provincial economy, performing well in relation to other sectors and contributing significantly to gross domestic product (GDP) growth and job creation. However, the data also shows that compared to technology sectors in other jurisdictions in Canada we are underperforming. With some exceptions, the relatively weak competitive metrics should be taken as a wake-up call and a clear indication that building the BC technology industry will require much more collaborative thinking, strategic planning and targeted action. We need to raise our game.

La estratega de cuentas asociadas de Google Latam, Inés Peralta Agüero, compartió sus conocimientos sobre marketing digital.
La experta habló sobre los pasos para tener éxito en el marketing digital de servicios. Detalló cómo las aplicaciones móviles se han convertido en una parte integral de lo que denominó “nuestros micro momentos cotidianos”, situaciones que nos llevan a buscar ayuda en Internet, por ejemplo, y la importancia de que la marca de nuestros productos esté presente.
Peralta destacó la necesidad de que quienes estar interesados en el mercadeo digital adopten un nuevo modelo mental centrado en la audiencia y en las diferencias que hay entre quien aún no está decidido a adquirir un bien y quien ya está convencido de hacerlo. A cada una de estas audiencias, dijo, hay que darles el contenido correcto.
