During an AMPP conference (Association for Materials Protection and Performance), Mauricio Herrera, former president of the Colombia Chapter, highlighted the main challenges Latin America faces in the industrial and technological spheres.
The specialist valued Colombia’s participation in this type of international event, emphasizing that these forums enable the exchange of knowledge, experiences, and technological advances with key industry players.
Lack of Access to Industrial Technology Limits Regional Development
With nearly 20 years of industry experience, Herrera was emphatic in pointing out that the region’s greatest challenge is the lack of access to updated technological information.
According to his explanation, this limitation prevents Latin American professionals and companies from learning about and implementing innovations developed in more advanced markets, such as the United States.
The Importance of Technology Dissemination
In this context, Herrera highlighted the role of specialized initiatives and platforms that facilitate knowledge transfer to Latin America.
He also called for strengthening the connection between professionals, companies, and information sources, with the goal of driving growth and competitiveness in the region’s sector.
