The forum aims to promote the development of the region through the integration of science, technology and innovation. On October 29 and 30, the city of Huancayo will host the Regional Forum: Linking Science, Technology and Innovation with Regional Development, a key space to strengthen research and innovation in the Junin region. The event will be held at the Hotel Presidente and will feature the participation of prominent leaders from the academic, business and government spheres.
The forum, organized by CONCYTEC in coordination with the Regional Government of Junin and various local institutions, aims to promote the development of the region through the integration of science, technology and innovation (STI) in economic and social growth strategies. In addition, it seeks to publicize CONCYTECs specialized services, highlight scientific and technological advances and identify the needs and demands of the productive, social and environmental sectors.
The opening ceremony will feature the participation of Dr. Sixto Sanchez Calderon, president of CONCYTEC; the regional governor of Junin, Mr. Zosimo Cardenas Muje; the rector of the National University of Central Peru, Dr. Amador Vilcatoma Sanchez; the representative of the Continental University, Dr. Esau Caro Meza; and the president of the Junin Chamber of Commerce, Mrs. Fanny Galvan Munico.
During the two days, attendees will participate in conferences, panels and executive meetings that will address the main challenges and opportunities for STI in the region. Keynote speeches from the National Programs of PROCIENCIA and PROINNOVATE will be presented, and essential topics on the link between academia and industry will be discussed, with emphasis on the creation of scientific and technological parks that promote innovation and competitiveness in the regional environment. In addition, the strengthening of technological management capabilities will be addressed, highlighting the training of managers specialized in leading research, development and innovation (R&D&I) projects, as well as the analysis of tax benefits that encourage companies to invest in R&D&I, enhancing the role of the private sector as a key player in the innovative ecosystem.
Topics related to STI in the Concerted Regional Development Plan, funding opportunities at both the regional and national levels, and the creation of the area responsible for STI functions in the Regional Government of Junin, among others, will also be analyzed. Likewise, traditional knowledge will occupy an important place in the discussions, highlighting ancestral knowledge and exploring how it can be integrated into the technological development strategies of the region.
The event will also serve as a platform for local universities, such as the National University of Central Peru, the Continental University and the Peruvian University of the Andes, to share their experiences in the development of research incubators, promoting research from the academic bases.
It is important to highlight that, within the framework of the Regional STI Forum, the launch of the Peru with Science and Eureka Fair will be held. The event will conclude with a plenary session in which the commitments assumed by the regional STI ecosystem during the executive meetings will be presented. This forum marks a decisive step towards a more competitive and sustainable Junin, where science and technology play a fundamental role in regional progress.
