The current environment demands the assumption of new and disruptive business models that add value and allow entities to differentiate themselves to achieve competitive advantages, responding in an agile and efficient way to the needs of society. Facing this challenge, and at the same time opportunity, requires moving from the transformation of digital processes or services to the generation of differentiating solutions for the configuration of an ecosystem where the convergence between technologies, innovation, and collaboration is guaranteed.         
To establish and strengthen networks between professionals, scientists, technicians, entrepreneurs, government representatives, academics, and other actors; exchange experiences and best practices of success stories, and generate an open dialogue, the Information Technology Company, part of the BioCubaFarma Business Group, invites you to participate in the 4th Meeting on Management Systems for Information and Communication Technologies, SIGESTIC 2023, which will be scheduled from September 10 to 14, 2023. The event will be held in person with the central theme: "From transformation to convergence in digital ecosystems: challenges and opportunities".

A commercial fair will also be organized to promote a space for commercial exchange and generate business opportunities and/or partnerships with other companies in the industry. The objective is to impulse the business promotion and the direct meeting between suppliers, potential clients, and economic actors of the industry.
