During lunch we had a visit from Mr. Alejandro de Leon from the Vice-President office gave us a very interesting demonstration of the new transparency portal of the Guatemalan Government, www.transparencia.gob.gt and we made arrangements for collaborating in future joint projects related to the clustering efforts reducing the digital gap in rural communities with the e-government agenda.

Mr. Guillermo Alfonso from CorporacionSAT also visited us for a few minutes to show us his latest product form his company, Cybertec, the new Guatemalan tablet.

The final presentation was done by Mr. Luis Penados who is also part of the Campus Tec business incubator and he shared his ideas as to now the Silicon Valley strategy is being established in Guatemala.
