WSIS | SDG
The “Digital Transformation Laboratories” project addresses various WSIS action lines and contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
Action Lines
C1: The role of governments and all stakeholders in promoting ICT for development.
To carry out the DTLabs program, a triple helix strategic alliance was formed between academia, large technology companies, international institutions and the government.
- Academia, represented by higher education institutions, provides the human resources, i.e., students in the last two years of their training, to participate in the projects that will be carried out in the Digital Transformation Laboratories. These projects will be aligned with their curriculum to enhance their skills.
- Technology Companies and International Institutions are responsible for training and certifying students in new skills in frontier technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things, Data Science, Digital Platforms, Blockchain, Electronic Payments, Robotics, Satellite Image Analysis, Cloud computing, Cybersecurity, Virtual and Augmented Reality, and Solar Energy. Companies are also responsible for installing and creating Digital Transformation Laboratories within higher education institutions.
- The Government is the beneficiary of all the applications and programs produced by the Digital Transformation Laboratories to carry out its digitization process.
C2: Information and communication infrastructure.
The “Digital Transformation Laboratories” take advantage of the modernization of our data infrastructure, which provides us with a private cloud large enough to host the applications and services produced by the government to serve citizens.
C3: Access to information and knowledge.
The “Digital Transformation Laboratories” improve the performance of public services through artificial intelligence applications that promote transparency and accountability in public administration; and guarantee citizens timely access to quality public information.
C4: Capacity building.
The “Digital Transformation Laboratories” strengthen the government's institutional capacities by improving services and technological capacities by applying the architecture of interoperable procedures to make production processes more efficient.
Students participating in the “Digital Transformation Laboratories” receive courses and updates in emerging technologies for which they will be certified. This enhances their skills and prepares them for a better salary when they enter the workforce. The projects will generate groups of students who may become technology-based creative enterprises.
C5: Creation of trust and security in the use of ICT.
Through the “Digital Transformation Laboratories” the State Cybersecurity Center is created to improve trust in digital media, carrying out a state cybersecurity strategy.
With regard to the protection of personal data, we are developing a platform called the Digital Welfare Card that will use Blockchain technology to protect the personal data of those registered as beneficiaries of social programs.
C7: ICT applications.
The “Digital Transformation Laboratories” positively impact many sectors, such as Health, putting patients in virtual contact with their doctors via videoconference. Education, using the public digital infrastructure to train teachers with Artificial Intelligence applications.
Agriculture, with the Satellite Monitoring System that will allow us to have data about where and what is produced in the field and e-government will expand its digital services due to the Interoperable Procedures Architecture program.
C8: Cultural diversity and identity, linguistic diversity, and local content.
The Digital Transformation Laboratories are developing a virtual tour platform, Campeche 360, which plays a fundamental role in promoting and disseminating the cultural spaces within the Walled City that are part of the world heritage, contributing to the conservation of cultural heritage, and promoting tourism.
The three-dimensional volumetry of the Historic Center of San Francisco Campeche is also being built, which directly impacts the protection of cultural identity and the preservation of the registration as a “World Heritage Site” on the UNESCO list.
C11: International and regional cooperation.
The interaction between our three-helix system ensures the success of our program.
Analysis of the curriculum of each Higher Education Institution allows us to identify their skills with regard to digital transformation, in order to enhance them with specific training that allows us to have the qualified and certified human resources to digitize the government.
The strategic alliance between the large technology companies and the government of Campeche allows their private academies to participate in the specific training in emerging technologies that are required to achieve the objective of enhancing and certifying their skills for the production of the applications that are required for the administration and services provided to citizens by the Government of Campeche.
The Government of Campeche, through the Coordination of Digital Strategy and Connectivity, has sufficient and certified human resources to digitize the entire administration and its services.
The Higher Education Institutions have Digital Transformation Laboratories with the most advanced technology in terms of Digital Transformation and a certification system shared with the government and technology companies.
Students receive courses and updates in emerging technologies that will be certified, enhancing their skills so that when they enter the workforce, they will receive a better salary.
The projects generate groups of students who can become Technology-Based Creative Enterprises.
The good-natured citizens enter the Digital Economy, in rural areas, the use of the Internet rises consistently, the percentage of older people who use it also increases, and a more significant number of students can connect their computers and cell phones to the Internet and have a better technological education, they can use banking and government services more confidently through their devices, they have better public security and more coordination with mobility systems, they also improve cultural services and buy and sell their products online, they have better social programs and better information that allows them to plant better, they know more about the environment and take better care of the plants and animals that inhabit the state.
Most of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) form an essential part of the Digital Transformation Laboratories program because all the programs are aligned with the 2030 Agenda and the Campeche State Development Plan.
For SDG 1, which deals with ending poverty, and SDG 2, which deals with Zero Hunger, we are developing the platform and the Digital Welfare Card Application, which contains a single register of social program beneficiaries. This program includes the Secretariats of Welfare (SB), the Secretariat of Agricultural Development and Fisheries (SDA), the Secretariat of Economic Development (SEDECO), the Integral Family Development (DIF), and all organizations that distribute programs or social assistance.
The “Me cuido” (I take care of myself) mobile application, a direct videoconference link between doctor and patient.
We are implementing an ambitious program to develop digital skills in Artificial Intelligence for teachers in Campeche. We are taking advantage of the Public Digital Infrastructure installed with the “Connectivity for All” Program, which provides internet access to public schools throughout the state.
Equal access to ICTs is promoted without gender distinction, guaranteeing equal access for girls, adolescents, young people and women to training, outreach and education programs.
Which is about affordable and clean energy, we are building a photovoltaic system for remote populations that will provide electricity to schools, health centers, government facilities, and public squares, accelerating the integration of the population into the digital economy.
we have developed the Smart Job Board platform so that applicants can find job offers that meet their expectations and employers can find human resources with the required skills.
Through collaboration agreements with higher education institutions, 13 Digital Transformation laboratories have been established that will receive high-level training in technology but also in entrepreneurship so that they can become the Technology-Based Creative Companies that our state requires, taking advantage of the geographical spread of higher education institutions to spread the technological benefits across the entire state.
All the projects in the Digital Transformation Laboratories will use the Public Digital Infrastructure installed in the 300 localities. This will reduce the digital divide in the Campeche population and promote equality for all its inhabitants by giving them equal access to the internet.
The Mobility project being carried out in Campeche is the renovation of the 124 Public Transport units with technological telemetry equipment with artificial intelligence installed in each one, a mobile Taxi application and the renovation of all the traffic lights with an artificial intelligence control system in the City of San Francisco Campeche, which will allow us to receive very precise data on mobility in the city and carry out better planning, with less pollution, more efficient transportation routes and a reduction in private transportation through the use of public transportation.
We are developing a platform called Mercado Libre de Productos Campechanos (Free Market of Campeche Products) that sells handicrafts and local products online, providing sufficient infrastructure so that entrepreneurs and artisans can market their products more efficiently and receive fair payment for their products.
Will allow us to monitor and implement public protection policies in areas such as deforestation, urban growth, climatic events such as floods, hurricanes, strong winds and environmental conditions of our coastline.
The Campeche Species platform covers SDG 14 (Life Below Water) and SDG 15 (Life on Land). It will permanently integrate species with photographs and technical data sheets and carry out a Three-Dimensional Interactive Installation of the marine species of the Campeche Bay coastline.
The project´s fundamental principle is that the benefits of the digital economy reach all the people of Campeche, regardless of their geographical location or purchasing power.
Technology companies such as Google, CISCO, Dahua, Huawei, and Autodesk and international institutions such as the International Telecommunication Union are responsible for training and certifying students in new skills in frontier technologies. Companies will also be responsible for installing and creating Digital Transformation Laboratories within higher education institutions.
