‘Technology will not wait for us to get our acts together’

At the STEMGuyana booth, children were given an opportunity to show off their creativity with the use of Lego bricks as seen here.

GTT yesterday opened its inaugural Innov8 Summit, where Business Minister Dominic Gaskin made a call for a proactive approach to technology to nurture advancements.

During his address at the opening of the three-day event yesterday morning at the Marriott Hotel, Gaskin called the summit a “wonderful platform” to reiterate the recognition of technology as a vehicle for advancement in all areas of development.

“Technology is a driver and will not wait for us to get our acts together. So, we have to be proactive in our approach to technology and we have to create an enabling environment in keeping up with the latest technological advancements. There is always something new and there is absolutely no reasons why the next big breakthrough cannot start right here in Guyana,” he added.
