Topics

  • How can we support LatinAmerica to access big systems -is it just about money?
  • Can we buy what we actually need, not just what vendors have to offer? 
  • Could we think of "Big Iron" going to countries with excellent connectivity and then shared with the continent, co-funded by multilateral organisms?
  • How do we overcome a limiting mentality ("we can't do that") and instill a more entrepreneurial and risk taking approach within our organisations?
  • Are these elements of "technology colonisation?"
  • How could we have a say in HW/SW co-design processes?
  • Are chiplets, RISC-V, OSS, elements that we could leverage towards technology independence?
