Challenges and opportunities in the digital economy

Themes such as governments taking advantage of technological advances to achieve better services and relationships with their citizens, opportunities created by new technologies for companies, and skills that we, citizens need today to adapt in this context, are covered in this MOOC. Cases from Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and other world regions are presented. The goal is to prepare the LAC region for the digital age, and it was offered in Spanish and Portuguese.

At the end of the course, students will be able to:

Recognize the impact that the new digital economy will have on people’s lives, economic activities, and the roles of governments, identifying the risks of not being prepared for its arrival.
Identify the areas of government action to facilitate adaptation to the digital economy by people, companies, and institutions.
