#Dell: Lack of professionals and digital exclusion are the biggest bottlenecks for the technology industry in Brazil
The Bantec 2022 event, the largest technology and innovation gathering in the financial sector in Latin America, will take place from August 9 to 11 at the Bienal in São Paulo's Ibirapuera Park, featuring 200 speakers and various panels. Attendees can register at brabantech.com. Diego Puerta, representing Dell, discusses the company’s commitment to local production, producing 95% of its products in Brazil, including servers, desktops, laptops, and storage units. While multinational firms closed operations in Brazil during the pandemic, Dell chose to invest further in the country. Puerta explains how the pandemic accelerated the demand for technology, as people adapted to remote work and learning, highlighting the increased significance of PCs as productivity tools. He notes that technology is crucial in post-pandemic recovery and maintaining connections among people and businesses, despite ongoing challenges like digital exclusion and a lack of qualified labor. Dell aims to overcome these barriers by leveraging local production and ensuring competitiveness in the Brazilian market. The company's Brazilian factory serves as a key asset, enhancing its ability to deliver technology that fosters human development.
