Resumen:

The objective of this chapter is the analysis of Mexico?s STI policy in ICT and the challenge to meet Sustainable Development Goal 9. Innovation, infrastructure, and industry. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are tools that have contributed to boosting different sectors worldwide, contributing to the economic growth and social development of countries. However, the creation of innovation, infrastructure, and industry performance is not close to being consolidated as activities that allow reducing the technological gap, improving competitiveness, and reducing inequality in Mexico. On the contrary, in recent years, STI policy has reduced the budget and eliminated innovation and technological development programs, affecting not only the fulfillment of SDG 9, but also the development of science in the country. This research carried out an in-depth literature review; besides it conducted a workshop and interviews with specialists who contributed with recommendations to design a policy focused on one of the most cutting-edge technologies with the greatest impact in various economic, social, and industrial fields, the 5G. The research concludes that Mexico?s STI policy has been underperforming for a long time, which has had an impact on the fulfillment of SDG 9 and, likewise, will limit the deployment of 5G technology. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
