The computerization of society is especially important for the economic and social progress of Cuba to increase the welfare and life quality of the population. That's why the country's authorities frequently monitor that process, especially regarding e-Commerce and e-Government with the aim of fostering the use of information and communication technologies in our daily lives. This had proved how important it was long ago, but in the midst of the fights against coronavirus, it has restated its importance to the nation.

Therefore, when assessing the development of the computerization of Cuban society, the President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, remarked the importance of e-Commerce regarding lives and strategic goals when he said that if there had been more progress in that area, we would have been in a better position to face COVID-19.

Several Ministers attended that meeting, and among them was Jorge Luis Perdomo Di-Lella, minister of Communications, he acknowledged that ''inasmuch as we move forward in this field, we will have less commercial vulnerabilities, and it will be possible to offer more and better services'', and in that sense, he mentioned that national solutions that favor technological sovereignty are a priority.        

    
For achieving the goals that have been set for that branch of commerce, the country needs an infrastructure to back it up, and regarding the search for local answers for that problem, Díaz-Canel said that the electronics industry plays an essential role.

Thousands of engineers in Electronics, Telecommunication, Automatics, Computer Science and other fields, trained in Cuban universities, provide Cuba with the development potential that the country is after concerning those areas.

Such pillars are the foundations of the Cuban President's explicit aspirations of moving on toward a different stage of the country's economy with the eyes set on national industry: ''regardless of which industrial production branch it is, it has to be able to produce for the strategic sectors, and the telecommunication one is among them.''
