The world today is witnessing unprecedented transformations driven by the technological and information
revolution, as the digital economy has become one of the main pillars for
achieving sustainable development and enhancing the competitiveness of nations and
institutions. The widespread adoption of information and communication technologies, digital platforms, and
technological innovations has reshaped the foundations of production, distribution, and consumption, compelling
national economies to keep pace with this profound transformation to ensure their effective integration into the
global digital economy.
In this context, the digital economy emerges as a key mechanism for boosting growth,
creating job opportunities, developing the business environment, and achieving financial
inclusion. However, despite the vast opportunities it offers, it also presents multiple
challenges related to digital infrastructure, data protection and privacy, cybersecurity, as well as the need to
develop human resources and adapt legal and regulatory frameworks to the requirements of digital
transformation.
Given the importance and relevance of this topic, this scientific conference seeks to provide an academic and
research space for exchanging ideas and experiences on the current state and future prospects of the digital
economy, while addressing the main challenges that hinder effective digital transformation, especially in
developing countries.
