New Mexico has an abundance of science & technology (S&T) resources in many areas. Iberia and Latin America have close ties to NM and also are large developing markets. ISTEC wants to leverage its solid relationships and focus the new initiative on a two-way exchange of S&T, human capabilities, capital, product development and in the final analysis economic development that helps all parties. Iberia and Latin America can also bring resources to the commercialization effort.

IT Challenges
Motorola 5 year commitment Background During IX ISTEC General Assembly held in Ft. Lauderdale, FL in
November 1999, Motorola launched the IT Challenge for Ibero-America. The challenge is to analyze the needs, strengths and expectations of governments, academia, and private sector and to define an agenda in Information Technology (IT) as a catalyst for social and economic development for the next decade (2000-2010). Dr. Terry Heng, Vice-President of Motorola, presented the IT Challenge committing $500,000 for the next five years (2000-2004).
Objective The objective is to sponsor conferences, workshops and forums with the
participation of high-ranking government officials, academia, industry and international organizations to create awareness, analyze existing IT models in other regions, develop an IT agenda, and obtain commitments to implement an IT plan for the next decade. The agenda will address issues such as the automated process for production, e-commerce, e-government, distance employment and education, S&T policies, IP protection, social and cultural values, health, strategic alliances, and universal access to information.

Knowledge Management
Consortia Purchasing Options:• Individual Reduced Pricing: price per organization less
than buying on your own• Group Price: price for a minimum number of
participants. Individual price is decided among members
• Regional Pricing Scheme: a set price for a region where every additional member reduces the price for existing members
• Regional Resell Pricing: same as above but administered by a Consortium like ISTEC. Allows more flexibility in pricing.
