The Ministry of Economy and Kyndryl México launched the Digital Education program with the objective that women, young people, Mexican indigenous communities, as well as micro, small and medium-sized businesses (MSMEs) know and use digital tools and processes to promote economic growth sustainable.
En México, las mipymes son un importante motor de la economía, ya que representan más del 52 por ciento del Producto Interior Bruto y generan más del 70 por ciento de los puestos de trabajo del país.
De acuerdo con «El Diagnóstico Digital PyMEs Mexicanas 2024», publicado por la Confederación de Cámaras Nacionales de Comercio, Servicios y Turismo (Concanaco Servytur), las mipymes que han implementado procesos digitales incrementaron su número de clientes hasta en un 20 por ciento, sin embargo, sólo el 15 por ciento cuenta con una estrategia digital efectiva.
Through this collaboration, the Secretariat and Kyndryl will offer a free in-person workshop in Mexico City, highlighting best practices and case studies on modernization and digitalization, cloud utilization, data preparation for the implementation of Artificial Intelligence, as well as as well as cybersecurity and resilience.
There will also be five virtual trainings on the Facebook page of the Ministry of Economy, so that more MSMEs acquire vital skills to thrive in the digital economy and promote inclusive and sustainable economic development.
The head of the Global Economic Intelligence Unit of the Ministry of Economy, Irais Barreto, commented that, within the framework of the Policy to Promote MSMEs and through this program with Kyndryl, the aim is not only to reduce the digital divide, but also foster an environment in which MSMEs can thrive and contribute to the economic development of Mexico.
For his part, the general director of Kyndryl Mexico, Carlos Marcel, said he was very excited to collaborate with the Ministry of Economy and use the transformative power of technology to drive progress at scale and contribute in areas of national importance.
“Como parte de nuestras prioridades de Impacto Social, Kyndryl está profundamente comprometido con coadyuvar para una economía más inclusiva y resiliente. Este programa proporcionará a las mipymes conocimientos esenciales sobre digitalización y los empoderará para llevar sus negocios al siguiente nivel», indicó.
