“This forum allows us to continue educating about how technology is an ally and an essential tool for the development of better quality statistics and effective data visualizations. Spaces like this give us the opportunity to interact with different representatives of academic and governmental sectors, private companies, non-profit organizations, as well as with the research community on how, through technology, we can provide the statistical data that is so essential in decision-making to promote economic and social development in Puerto Rico,” explained Dr. Orville M. Disdier, executive director of the Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics.

The Puerto Rico Statistics Institute is an autonomous governmental entity tasked with coordinating the government's statistical production service to ensure that the data collection and statistics systems, on which public policies are based, are complete, reliable, and accessible quickly and universally.
