Oviedo also highlighted the potential that the DÄTA GTO Decision Lab has to boost the socio-economic development of the region and improve the quality of life of its inhabitants.
“Guanajuato continues to be a great brand in the big business leagues, in which the boards of directors of important and global companies fully trust. Behind this trust are public policies such as the Valley of the Mindfacture, where ideas are promoted to contribute to the growth of our State”, said Oviedo Herrera.
The Official stressed that this space is an integral part of the great Innovation District, which includes other areas focused on promoting innovation, such as the Design Thinking Lab, the Classroom of the Future and the Smart City Factory, among others. He also highlighted that more than 16 million pesos were allocated, representing a significant investment in this initiative.
Juan Antonio Reus Montano, General Director of IDEA GTO, presented a context on the challenges and opportunities facing the State in terms of innovation and decision-making , highlighting the relevance of the laboratory in this regard.
“This laboratory for decision making focuses on the most sophisticated and a human privilege, the act of deciding. The important thing is not the data but the reflection process so that this data is translated into correct decisions, for this reason we must clearly understand the future to be able to actively design the best present in real time”, said Reus Montano.
Reus also highlighted some data such as that the global Big Data industry is worth 274 billion dollars, multi-sector data interactions have increased by 5,000% since 2010, Google receives more than 3.5 billion searches daily and that more than 100 billion messages on WhatsApp are exchanged daily, this information helps to observe the panorama of the current world and how the information that is generated, the Data, is a treasure that can be used to make a decision.
Eduardo Sojo Garza Aldape, IPLANEG advisor, shared his experience and knowledge on the importance of using evidence and data for strategic decision making.
He mentioned that these type of spaces to take advantage of information and make decisions based on evidence, were popularized by the University of Arizona, which set up a theater of decisions in Washington, to be close to decision makers.
He also commented that in Mexico there are several spaces of this type in the academic sector, such as the CIDE, the UNAM, the TEC DE MONTERRY, however, the DÄTA GTO Decision Lab is unique because it is the first decision making laboratory that is public.
“This concept has been brought to Guanajuato with the particularity that it is the first decision laboratory that is in a public institution, a common house where the decision makers are, where the citizens, businessmen, academics are, and this makes it very different to any other, where there will be data visualization and models that solve the question: what if? Which helps us make informed and collaborative decisions”, said Sojo.
The voice of the business sector was represented by Hector Tejada Shaar, national president of Concanaco Servytur, who highlighted the importance of collaboration between the public and private sectors to promote innovation and improve business competitiveness in Guanajuato, he also reported that the data that Concanaco Servytur generates through the Buen Fin event will be shared with the DÄTA GTO Decision Lab, nourishing it with valuable information for small and medium-sized companies.
