San Bartolomé de Tirajana will be, among other enclaves in the Canary Islands, the epicenter of the digital world with the celebration of the OECD Digital Economy Ministerial Conference, which will take place between December 13 and 16 on the island of Gran Canaria, and which will be attended by more than 50 official delegations, both OECD members and guests.
This historic meeting is coordinated from the City Council by the Department of Presidency and Innovation coordinated by its head, Antonio Pérez.
The aim is to adopt a declaration on how to move towards a digital future that is inclusive and sustainable, as well as being based on the idea that online rights must also be respected in the online world.
The Secretary of State for Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence (SEDIA), Carmen Artigas, confirmed today the participation of 20 ministers and 20 secretaries of State, along with other senior officials from the countries represented.
The gala dinner will be held on Tuesday, December 13, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, to move the rest of the actions to San Bartolomé de Tirajana, with Expomeloneras as the main venue, in the following days, although on December 16 there will be two meetings in the north of the island.
500 attendees at Expomeloneras
The ministerial conference in the Canary Islands, which will have part open to the public and part closed, has so far registered more than 500 people. There will also be events that will take place on other islands, as well as mentioning that there will be an exhibition stand at Expomeloneras, the main venue for the event.
A parallel agenda between the central and Canarian Governments has also been planned to address the advances of the digital economy in the programs and initiatives of the central Executive, such as the results of the 'Citizen Folder' pilot project.
The Canary Islands are the fourth preferred destination in the world for teleworking in the pandemic, which places it as a "preferred destination".
In this conference, Spain wants to focus on four topics, such as the digital catalysts of the world economy; building better societies; people first in digital transformation; and the power of artificial strategy in emerging technologies.
