Goodnight

who of you has donated income

economic on a soccer platform

collective to support some initiative

of a social entrepreneur

how many of you have signed some

petition to support some cause

how many times a day do you generate and

they share positive content in their

social networks

if you perform any of these

actions I have an excellent news

you are digital activists and for

that you can achieve and fight

for these reasons

we have the activists all terrain

those activists who get up every

day and they work for causes

those people have dreams and everything

start with a dream

there are

when I was little and I had six

years I dreamed of being an astronaut for

the work of my dad an engineer

mines changed it to the island of san

frames located in the low peninsula

southern california

playing with my friends we arrived at the

houses of the engineers and they were

changing the appliances and

it turns out that they were putting them in a

gully for all to be a stove

just for me in a capsule

spatial and what I did was get into

that stove close the door and start

take off

I was dreaming that I was between

planets among stars

suddenly it began to move that is your

goes and it turns out that abroad

friends were moving it moved

so much that they regretted this started

I just felt like I started giving

turns and turns and turns inside of

stove

I do not know how long it went into

panic of course stopped me

rescued they took me out of the stupa with

some scrapes nothing more and that day

the important things

first that stoves can not be

open inside and the second that are

so secure that they protect everything

we put in our interior

3i and had to study something I

they loved mathematics and

computers but it was a mini pro

spilled did not talk much and I decided

study a career where I do not

I made related to people where

I was in front of a computer

developing lines of code and so

study systems engineering

when I finish my studies

university students I had the opportunity to

enter to work in an institution of

government responsible for resolving

environmental problems and that’s where

I knew the information systems

geographic

magical way to complement the bases

of data with the geographic component

points lines and polygons that

can integrate into a system and that

facilitates decision making

at the same time that worm began to emerge

activist and with some friends we formed a

organization

we started giving education talks

environmental we participate in forums

we participate in workshops and all that

activist work did not take to occupy a

position within the advisory council for

the sustainable development of my country and

we were in the space of

most important citizen participation

from Mexico

interacting with more than 300 counselors

of all country

investigative activists with more than 20

and 30 years of experience and experts in

all environmental issues and there it was

where the great idea came

what would happen if we built a network

of knowledge management where everyone

we will share information

we generate open data but also

allow us to disseminate and publicize

all the activities that were being

doing in any state of the

republic

we started designing a local prototype that

in a few months it became regional

and in less than a year it became

the official linking platform

of the advisory council was a

platform that was synchronized in

real time with all the pages that

we had on social networks too

includes a cartographic module with

geographic databases of course

free download and most interesting

is that it includes a directory

georeferenced of all people

that we are part of that council and the

sector that we represented women

young non-profit organizations

businessmen profit

academics we wanted to go a step further

there because dreams never

they finish and as we realized that the

most people have

smartphones we came up with

the bright idea of ​​developing a

mobile application we develop it

thinking that it would be the greatest achievement of

us and that advice

unfortunately we had less than ten

downloads and then it was when we

we realized that not because most

of people have a phone

smart means they are people

who are used to using

mobile apps

it’s for that reason that stores are

saturated with applications that nobody

download and when someone asks me

that if it is convenient to develop a

application

The first thing I tell you is that you have

what to analyze if your user

is a person who is used to

use mobile apps

after that stage of the application

thanks to all this work we did

With the network comes the call to

national environmental award and invite us

to be part of the qualifying jury and

we have to dance more than 50 projects

environmental activists from across the country

a lot of field work years and years of

research

but they had a very big weakness there

it was reflected all that work in

your social networking profiles few

organizations have pages

own and most are unaware that

there are funding mechanisms and

donation platforms where they can

obtain income from any part of the

world besides dreaming a lot I am

hacktivist I have adopted the best

points of the hackers that are sharing

knowledge generate open data use

free software with what it implies to be

an activist person who fights for

causes and that every day we have to

make those big changes that

we need to happen

my great cause

I’m a mentoring founder 4.0 a

community of mentors and entrepreneurs

that we agree that the big

opportunities will be offered by

key points of industry 4.0

‘internet of things’ cybersecurity

3d printing virtual reality reality

increased robotic cloud services

among others and that we support the

entrepreneurs in two aspects well

important the first to detect a

problem generate a solution and search

impact on any of the 11

welfare indicators designed by

the ocede and the second they build

Social businesses that generate income

recurrent a community where the most

important is not that you become

millionaire

the real success and the impact is that you

you manage to change the lives of people

we currently live in a world

immersed in social media technology

we have lost the human coexistence and

I want to quote this sentence from Albert

eistein I fear the day when

technology surpass our humanity

the world will only have one generation

of idiots and I invite you to the

let’s transform into something like the following

I do not have the day when technology

surpass humanity

the world will have a generation of

smart citizen citizens

proactive citizens who fight for

Citizen causes that help others

citizens

maybe we do not change so many problems

that exist

but each of our actions

daily can make that big difference

it costs us nothing to generate and share

positive content in our networks

social, it costs us nothing to sign a

request on a technological platform

how many pesos can it cost to support the

project of a social entrepreneur

maybe we do not build that world

perfect but I’m sure we can

improve it and today I am

here so that each of its causes is

turn into my causes

thank you very much

[Applause]
