The Government of Ecuador on Wednesday discussed the new development strategy, which builds on four pillars: the selective substitution of imports, surplus energy (allowing diversify dependence on oil), diversification and import substitution and build a service economy based mainly in the bioconocimiento and tourism services.

This was explained by the National Secretary of Planning (SENPLADES), Rene Ramirez, who said he also expected “to put all the incentives of economic policy” in 14 industries with the aim that these be consolidated.

“Basically we are talking about tax incentives, trade, tariff, enabling financial changes in relative prices for the construction of the domestic industry,” he said.

These industries are: tourism, fresh and processed foods, renewable energy, alternative and renewable beanery, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, biotechnology (biochemistry and biomedicine), environmental services, metallurgy, technology (hardware and software mainly), plastics and rubber, garments and footwear, vehicles, automotive, car bodies and parts (mainly linked to the inputs involved in the production of agricultural goods), transportation and logistics, construction and forest products for wood processing.

The Mexican Academy of Sciences (AMC) criticized Mexico has reduced investment in science, develop scientific infrastructure, or doctoral degrees incorporate scientific activity for lack of opportunity, and that we are the OECD country with higher technological dependence.

At this, the head of the Secretariat of Public Education, Alonso Lujambio, immediately defended the actions of the federal government and stressed that this administration has relied on science and technology, has developed infrastructure in the sector and have established 75 institutions of higher education.

The holder of the SEP nuance: “The technological development of many economies is largely explained by the narrow link, historically and increasingly close relationship between the educational system, especially superior and research and the productive sector, both the IP and industry social.”

During the opening ceremony of the LI academic year of the Mexican Academy of Sciences, attended by the rector Jose Narrow, director of the IPN, yoloxochitl Burke, the Rector of the UAM, Enrique Fernandez and director of CONACYT, Juan Carlos Romero Hicks Lujambio added:

“For many years, for various reasons, including ideological,” the higher education system and research were isolated from the production system.

“Companies and research organizations, and researchers, companies and scientific and technological development, separate and close connection, which limited against the possibility of a more productive and generate more jobs.” He said that this barrier is slowly being faced.
