Acting President Delcy Rodriguez presided over the commemoration of the second anniversary of the Great Mission for Science, Technology, and Innovation “Dr. Humberto Fernandez-Moran,” a government initiative that coordinates the efforts of national talent in strategic areas of knowledge.

The event served to review progress in biotechnology, food sovereignty, and robotics projects, driven by participants in the National Scientific Seedbeds Program.

As part of the event, Rodríguez announced the creation of a national registry for young Venezuelan talent, both residents of the country and abroad. This registry will include professionals in electrical engineering, finance, health, and science, with the aim of integrating their skills into national development projects.

Science and Technology Minister Gabriela Jiménez informed that the Scientific Seedbeds Program has reached over one million participants, with the challenge of doubling this figure. So far, female participation in this program exceeds 50.6 percent.

Venezuela has 341,206 young people involved in robotics projects, 368,911 participants in 646 science classrooms, and 58,132 beneficiaries in educational centers.

The Great Mission for Science, Technology, and Innovation currently encompasses 5,236 educational institutions distributed across 223 of the country’s 335 municipalities.

The mission was created with the goal of expanding the use of science and technology, integrating scientists, technologists, and organized communities in the search for sovereign solutions for the nation.

Its approach seeks to break with dependent models and promote the development of endogenous capabilities under the concept of “Made in Venezuela.”

The Great Mission for Science, Technology, and Innovation is consolidating itself as a pillar for resilience and economic development in a context of global challenges, prioritizing the collaboration between grassroots organizations and academic institutions to address the country’s structural problems through national intellect.
