What will distinguish our High Technology Companies?

During this period, the Ministerio de Ciencias, Tecnologia y Medio Ambiente (Ministry of Sciences, Technology and Environment) must keep permanent control and evaluation of the categorized companies.

Until April of this year, Cuba had four High Tech companies, characterized by the intensive research, development and innovation activities, as well as high technological standards.

In a Mesa Redonda broadcast, it was specified that the first companies to obtain this status were the Centro Nacional de Bio-preparados (National Center of Biopreparations), a scientific-industrial complex that provides an outlet for more than 30 biotechnology products, and the Centro de Ingeniería Genética y Biotecnología, where 25% of sales correspond to export products.

The Centro de Inmunología Molecular, with 42 objects of invention and more than 800 scientific articles and the Empresa de Tecnología de la Información y Servicios Telemáticos that works on innovation projects, some of them related to electronic commerce, IP telephony, IoT and digital signage, distance education, software projects for administration and science and the development of applications for emerging Cuban technologies, among others, have this classification.

Decree 2 on High Tech Enterprises, dated on January 10th, 2020, established the definition of the category of High Tech Enterprises was well as their organization and operation.

The document states that their main principles are that they operate the compete cycle of research, development, innovation, production and commercialization of products and services of high added value that are internationally classified as High Technology, they close their economic cycle both in the domestic and the foreign market, with emphasis on the latter. They base their operations on innovate products or technology, with a high component of intangible assets, including knowledge duly protected by intellectual property, the use of high quality standards and the obtainment of international and national certifications. They also develop business models in pre-commercial stages that allow financing the development and registration of these products abroad, allocate an important part of their income to scientific and technological research, innovation and high quality standards, have high labor productivity, sustainable over time, employ a highly qualified workforce, work through alliances and collaboration networks in which national and foreign third parties and international organizations participate, establish business models with lower costs and higher commercial margins based on a broad reuse of the knowledge created and have certified accounting.
