El Silicon Valley de Chile

En un reciente artículo de BusinessWeek, se describe a Chile como un país cuyo mercado TI es pequeño pero altamente educado, lo cual está atrayendo a las empresas tecnológicas de Estados Unidos para que abran oficinas en nuestro país:

"Chile has the attributes that have made emerging markets attractive to outsourcers, such as cheap wages; dependable, state-of-the-art infrastructure; and government incentives. While Chile's small labor force will hinder its rise, the country also boasts an outsize pool of highly educated computer engineers and a time zone that's synchronous with the U.S. East Coast."

También el artículo agrega:

"We think of Chile as the specialized neurosurgeon of IT outsourcing," says Douglas Gattuso, a managing director at Miami-based IT consultant Neoris USA, which has a 125-person office in Santiago. "Mexico, Argentina—they're the general practitioners."

Sin duda, este artículo muestra que debemos seguir trabajando en nuestro país para difundir SSME y así fomentar que los "highly educated engineers" lleguen a ser profesionales T-shaped en pro del desarrollo de la industria de servicios.
