before starting I would like to ask you

want you have our

cell phones from the bitten apple

ok perfect record to put the

perfect incidence because this is going to

serve to illustrate the process of

innovation in that it is used as a

small tourist

there they will see if someone read the

biography of steve jobs are going to give

account were 700 pages and nothing of the

that says there is this there was a

question that had all

researchers and academics about

why all these companies to paul

googol amazon

all these arose from one place and only

from a place and they started to investigate and

they found that there was an actor

hidden in all this

hidden mostly in treason or

an English American way of thinking and

certainly in Latin America

not so the continental Europe or in Asia

and they discovered that this actor was the

been as you can see there

this is basically what he did

smart to smartphones can see

as the internet financed by darpa and

the defense department

the gps to adapt the military

the screen was financed by cia and the

national science foundation and da

also funded in the ram and

the hard drive

even the cid and was financed with

state money

the matter is also what it is

this all sounds very military

and that’s because part of the

innovation policy in states

united is carried out is carried out at

through a security policy

national

but this happens not only here but

the sector after sector this is repeated

It is also the case of medicines in

the financial sector for example the set

5 percent of new entities

molecular that are innovation

radical in medicines that finances that is

that rage in state laboratories of

U.S

this does not mean that the sector

private do not do anything because if you do

much but in recent years it has

concentrated more in the part of

investigate to leave aside the

part of research and doing the

development also spend a lot

marketing and in repurchase of shares that

that’s a bit problematic but what

that does is inflate the value of the

companies artificially and good

this is in terms of research

basic but also what happens for

for how small businesses a in

some point all the companies were

small and how they helped them out

ahead

well it turns out that there, too, the

been played the role of investors

risky

these risk investors

they usually ask for a return to the

investment of three or five years but what

what is really needed to

innovations is in this capital

patient because innovation does not happen

every 15 or 20 years

then good returning to receive

it turns out that in his second round of

financing received state money

to start as a google company

the algorithm of the search engine your sauce

secret was so well made with money

state

the national science foundation but the

same case is repeated intel in cup and

company after company and móttola by

example nokia also received money

of the government is from Finland through

of cintra then neighborhood these companies

says ok

we give you all this is fine and

telecinco that we are going to pay the

taxes and we will give employment to the

people

It turns out that it’s not like that either for

paez about the payment of taxes

I do not know if good I guess they are so

they know about this matter that companies

establish cardboard companies in

tax havens and then when there are

money to pay

the least of taxes and when I say what

less is the least and good jobs

jobs come and they say ok yep

let’s go let’s talk to the people and

everything but it’s also problematic

because jobs export them and that’s not

is that it is wrong or because that is part

of globalization but this is it

this narrative truth sap affected that

with this narrative the consequences

they transcend politics, innovation and

that for example we have the case in

guatemala that if they review the budget

national 11 billion are going to the payment of

interests to private banking over the

loans and the health budget of

5 billion is more than double what

you pay taxes

so good that ‘s when

it transcends but also where it is

the innovation that has happened there

is that is the role more or less than

plays the player states to the

radical innovation is not about

continually improve something in what is

make you think differently and good that

what has happened with the good innovation

we can see from what before 70 this

it’s very simplified but before the

seventies the road infrastructure the

aviation and nuclear energy were

developed by him or by the state and

after the seventies internet

biotechnology and space travel

it was also developed today by

example the case of tesla is the received

nearly $ 5 trillion also

subsidies

that has happened and it’s still happening but good

what comes next we do not know to science

certain what will happen to the next

industrial revolution but what yes

we know is who is financing that

and it turns out that four banks the bank of

China Development Bank

development of brazil the bank of

German development and the bank of

European investment

these four banks are investing

eight times more than the entire sector

deprived of

world and clean technologies

then already there is a sign I know

where is he going to move the next

industrial revolution but good what

happened what happened in Latin America in

the sixties seventies that

know more about the case if you were

doing something in the state had a role

it is industrializing it grew

although it did not develop and that’s the

difference that there was between asia and

Latin America

we grew up but we can not

develop we never get over the

dependence mature technologies

that ‘s another problem I had in

Latin America when when all these

mature technologies in the countries

industrialized generate quantities

navigable money has that money

banks become a liability you have

to undo that money then

they come and they stumble to go to

other underdeveloped countries or in

development paths to offer that money

with all the problems we have here

they come and they leave us that money then

systematically in the five

industrial revolutions in the part of

when the industrial revolution begins

Latin America is in moratorium has

debts

so it is very difficult to get on the wave is

as if we were playing soccer

the match starts, they grab us

backlash and leg changed

then there is very difficult to have that

recomposition Latin America by

example towards asia if you could adapt these

I designed this mature technologies

and made the change from there

Latin America regrettably return to

the raw materials can see that is

a friend had told me not to

put dates or names but in this

line the best car but that’s where they ‘re going

when I was in england is watching

what had to be done so that their

colonies will not think about manufacturing

then said good is what

we can make it easy we give them free

trade in agricultural products and

apparently Latin American

superheroes has not overcome that that

bump

such is the case for example brazil only

so they can see the brazil

Latin America in the seventies

they were at a similar point of

industrialization in the seventies

Brazil produced more cars than all

asia together save japan

well today several countries in asia have

own brands and assemble cars to have

own brands

there is a big difference or the case of

chile in 1960 chile produced splinter of

wood and paper pulp that is the most

simple process and Finland

produced wood stripe and pulp

paper

ok today chile is still exporting sliver of

wood and pulp paper and finland produces

the machinery for processing wood

ay ay ay ay ay something and what is it

pass later another will comment

a little bit of this but what about the

deindustrialization or in the case of

premature latin america

deindustrialization historically

every time the industry is removed the

test the population migrates the case of

Latvian them when it will start to

distribute the nineties when

industrialized 20% of the population

emigrated clear are within europe and

that’s relatively easy because there’s

free mobility of people but it is not

the case in Latin America and much less

of guatemala and that ‘s what ends in a

offering of walls and now you

where you have more going is time

then part the point this talk is

see this conflict of interest one thing

for example if you want to see it as the

same iphone or as any device

electronic

can see the hawa on the one hand and the

operating system the hard work them is

if we see it that way are the instructions and

is the society and the operating system

is the way people think is that

ideology and in Latin America and states

united there was a very big conflict and

if that is so

the device does not work otherwise and

Another one of obvious is that those that

there is that symbiosis is estonia and there

is where are we going to lolo maybe this opi

Estonian as you like the named ones

because they from 1997 have

they started the state started to

develop all services

state online and one of the things

what they did was for example they started

a couple of years ago to develop this

bloch technology in blog chen is

a byproduct is part of bitcoin of

these coins that do not really exist

but it is the safest system there is

to verify the data

it’s like keeping an accounting book

where accounts are kept of where it is

where is the information and provides a

footprint or an authenticity that a

forensic audit for this data

then they and a couple of years ago

they started with this they are already

implementing in two services right now

one is for voting in meetings

directives for shareholders

can vote on their boards of directors and

the other is to guarantee the integrity

of the records of patients in

united states in estonia forgive them

for example they have this sanding

they have the record of all of all

the population the public system and

they have to ensure that that

information is not or is not physical or

be then

estonia to her is already implementing

this these two video blog services

chen

but in the private initiative still

is not implemented and she is

doing but this symbiosis

the point is if one starts to think that

something is bad and what is bad and what is bad

it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy

then the point is that if clear whether the

state has failed and has failed

greatly but it has failed thinking

20 years before internet and 20 years

before nanotechnology

there is a role there is a space for this

so even though right now my pitches are

focused on industrial policy

the point is there you have to understand from

that the best way that society

advances in a symbiosis between all

actors

Thank you

[Applause]
