I want to share a short article from the NYTimes. Last week I had great
pleasure and fortune to speak with Thomas Friedman in a round table
discussion on Mexico’s past, present and future.
Today, Thomas Friedman’s NYTimes column “How Mexico Got Back In The
Game”<http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/24/opinion/sunday/friedman-how-mexico-got-back-in-the-game.html?hpw&_r=0>
makes
note of Mexico’s progress amidst the challenges it has confronted in years
past – opening of its markets, global economic downturn and drug violence –
Mexico emerges resilient and well poised for growth for years to come.
Tom also makes reference to work I, along with a dedicated group of folks
in Monterrey, have been pushing hard on at CIC.MX <http://www.cic.mx> –
leveraging technology to enable citizen participation and collaboration
with government. It's a hyper-connected world we live in today (e.g.,
ubiquitous connectivity, proliferated access to affordable computing –
cloud and mobile). It is fertile ground for innovation and an opportune
moment for re-imagining every aspect of the world we live in... all that is
needed is to step in and shape it.
Exciting times lie ahead. I hope you enjoy the article!
Saludos!
