In any case, the sector did not escape the economic difficulties to the extent that many of these companies in the sector were dedicated to providing services to other sectors of activity that today are completely unemployed.
For this year that has just begun, the hurdles do not seem to be completely clear. While many countries have begun vaccination, the virus remains a threat to the economy and health systems.

Some of these questions were on the table yesterday in a new edition of Punta Tech, the first big event of the year in the IT sector. The meeting, which every year serves to weave contacts and detect business opportunities, had to be reformulated this 2021 to comply with health protection measures.
What did this new edition of Punta Tech leave us with? What expectations does the sector have for 2021?
