A NEW PARADIGM

The combination of knowledge and scientific advancement has become the principal components of modern economies and the backbone of global commerce. As such, an economy based on knowledge should alter its strategy from general macroeconomic goals to specific microeconomic objectives that provide an environment conducive to creative activities.

Activities related to the creation, appropriation, transformation, diffusion, and application of knowledge are multidimensional and require changes in attitude, aptitude, solidarity, and social commitments from all sectors: government, private business, universities, research centers, organizations, and in the general public.

The Trust recognizes that it’s not just about being users of knowledge and administrators of the processes. It’s a matter of becoming knowledge creators, transformers, and innovators.

One of the Trust’s principal goals is to fuel economic growth and innovation by capitalizing upon Puerto Rico’s growing research and development sector. Through changes in public policy, investment in this area will strengthen and expand the Island’s place in the global economy, attracting and retaining new scientific talent as well as generating capital and innovative ideas for use throughout the world.
