The technology industry in Puerto Rico represents 28.3% of the manufacturing sector in the economy of Puerto Rico.[1]
History
editIn 1999, the technology sector in Puerto Rico was ranked 16th in exports and 37th in employment as compared to the 50 states and Washington DC.[2]
As a result of the Puerto Rican government-debt crisis, interest in revitalizing the economy through the technology sector was expressed, with Alberto Bacó Bagué describing it as "one of the pillars of our economic development program".[3]
