00:00:10This program was receptivity, affected by all presented by
00:00:13Alberico Sastre, dress elegant, dress an
00:00:17Alberico Anapace with more than
00:00:2060 years of
00:00:21experience.
00:00:33tools from all
00:01:05also to boost everything
00:01:24we are going to talk about science and technology with Berecil Rigal and Kristoffer
00:01:27Leal from Circom Valley of
00:01:30time. all Venezuela. Rigal, the importance of technology in today's world, that we are everywhere
00:01:34discussing the topic at an international level, but that in Venezuela it must
00:01:37be deepened and applied. That's right,
00:01:40ambassador, thank you very much for this space again for inviting
00:01:43Silicon Valley. From
00:01:46Silicon Valley, our main purpose is to continue promoting
00:01:50technology and precisely promoting it also includes supporting
00:01:53all those entrepreneurs who are developing technology in the
00:01:56country, creating spaces and giving.
00:02:00within those spaces a whole ecosystem necessary for them
00:02:04to be able to promote technology. Now Kristopher Leal, who is also from the executive
00:02:07group,
00:02:10what aspects are there to bring, what programs to the public
00:02:13the knowledge of these areas? Well, first, thank you, ambassador, for
00:02:17inviting us again to your program. And
00:02:20basically, I would
00:02:24head of all like to tell you to answer your question, that we in our offices
00:02:28were able, well, after this seismic doublet. to return to
00:02:31operations and we currently have or
00:02:35we started again to provide all the mentoring, the
00:02:39accompaniment to all the startup projects
00:02:43in Venezuela and to be able to scale these business models either
00:02:46with investment or with
00:02:50youth to accompaniment or with also access to the spaces we have in our
00:02:54offices, Licentiate Berecito, doctor now, because she just
00:02:58finished a doctorate.
00:03:00Precisely in the commercial area, how to explain and how to bring
00:03:04that technology to the people so that they understand that it is necessary to enter that
00:03:07world, especially with the courses, the projects they have at
00:03:11a level not only university but for the general public, I believe that the
00:03:14people at this moment have had an interesting
00:03:17opening because they are
00:03:20making use of technology sometimes directly or
00:03:24sometimes indirectly, already the
00:03:25we are doing from Semillas de banking entities are practically, let's say, we are
00:03:2890%
00:03:31digitized, we see great applications that have
00:03:35made important advances within what is also
00:03:38our Venezuelan society,
00:03:41promotion of network maintenance, and precisely at that point is where we want to continue
00:03:44promoting that digital entrepreneurs continue
00:03:48to put solutions on the market that allow them to facilitate for Venezuelan
00:03:52society, that Venezuelan people, the
00:03:54use of resources that facilitate needs that
00:03:58were previously complex and that now... can simply be easy through the
00:04:02use of these technologies. Kristopher Leal, recently there was a press conference at
00:04:06the headquarters of Silicon Valley Venezuela, which is your company,
00:04:09why that press conference and what did you want to announce?
00:04:13Well, the last press conference we had,
00:04:17we basically
00:04:18to open up to them, talked about our tour of Venezuela, which is still
00:04:22currently well,
00:04:26after what happened with the earthquake, it was postponed.
00:04:30And for our second batch of accelerated companies, we will
00:04:34have it for February of next year. When we talk about
00:04:38accelerated companies, it's interesting that Doctor Veres could explain
00:04:41all about the seedbeds, the projects, the programs, because
00:04:45you can resort to them and they have developed projects. Could you
00:04:49list some developed projects and in which Venezuelans can participate? That's
00:04:53right, in Silicon Valley Venezuela we promote
00:04:56accompaniment, especially for people who already have a small
00:05:00business model, defined and already
00:05:03tractioning or working in the Venezuelan market. Although we do
00:05:07not rule out the option of receiving people who have ideas
00:05:10to accompany them as well. in the development and the new
00:05:13structuring, as Christopher said, we had planned a
00:05:17tour throughout Venezuela that was
00:05:21the double earthquake we experienced on June
00:05:2424th, but even so Silicon Valley is not
00:05:27standing still, so we decided to launch a sprint that is very short, it will be
00:05:30two weeks, it starts on October 19th, keep an eye on our
00:05:34social networks, we will be publishing so you can
00:05:37register and during those two weeks you will receive a fast
00:05:41acceleration process. fast, super short, but where you will
00:05:44find very useful tools to develop your business
00:05:48models, to know specific things like capital
00:05:52raising and even find within this program
00:05:55one of them will be selected as the best project and
00:05:58will receive a cash
00:06:01contribution to boost it in all that
00:06:05development. So from
00:06:08again, our purpose is to give
00:06:12entrepreneurs opportunities and especially
00:06:14oportunidades y sobre todo
00:06:18they are doing. When Kristoffer
00:06:21Leal said, the tours to the interior, what did they include and what
00:06:24did they plan to bring or what will they bring? Well, Ambassador,
00:06:28we wanted to attend, well, we are going to attend
00:06:31six states, among them we will be in Lara state, in
00:06:34Carabobo, in Táchira, in Zulia, in
00:06:37Margarita and, well, of course, also in Barinas
00:06:41state, and here in Caracas will be the grand finale. From these
00:06:44six states and the capital city, we will
00:06:48be selecting our second batch of accelerated projects,
00:06:52which are these projects that at
00:06:54the end of the day receive investment,
00:06:57receive all the mentoring, understanding also that
00:07:01many times these projects are invested in, they are injected
00:07:05with capital, and then these projects don't know what to spend the
00:07:08money on. Then they appear with a new car and didn't know what to do with the
00:07:12money. So that's why all this is being done,
00:07:15the important thing that Doctor Bereci comments on, which is
00:07:19the express acceleration part, to keep
00:07:22the correct information on how to manage your
00:09:03Sunday, at 8 p.m., in situational
00:09:07analysis, I will talk with the Minister of University
00:09:10Education,
00:09:14about the situation of higher education and the new
00:09:17stage, with the resources of artificial
00:09:20intelligence. I believe that all universities have to agree and state
00:09:24in a law what the use will be, not only the
00:09:27moral use or the use
00:09:30from the perspective of humanity, but the
00:09:34factual use of artificial intelligence.
00:09:38Watch again situational analysis,
00:09:41Sunday night on Globovisión.
00:09:59We work to bring you home. We made great
00:10:03efforts throughout this event, this month and so much that has happened,
00:10:06to be with our people and we showed that when you have a protocol, a plan and
00:10:10organization, things go well. We are
00:10:13starting the process of repairing 1300
00:10:16apartments with a criterion of supporting people over
00:10:2065 years old. Then I want to tell my neighbors to be calm, as
00:10:23resources arrive, national or international, we will lower that
00:10:27range and we will reach all places where it is necessary, but in this first stage
00:10:30there are 1300 apartments, common areas of the
00:10:33buildings and buildings that have damaged masonry that can be seen from
00:10:37outside, the rooms, etc., we will also start there and the
00:10:41buildings that are in red.
00:11:10We continue our dialogue on Silicon Valley in Venezuela and technology
00:11:14with Verc Rigal and Kristoffer Leal. Perecil Rigal, that
00:11:18of all technological projects.
00:11:22What new projects do you have? At this moment,
00:11:25we have evaluated more than 5,000 projects, obviously
00:11:28not all are technology-based, we have prioritized everything that has
00:11:32a technological base and there is an open investment thesis there, we have
00:11:35seen many artificial intelligence
00:11:38projects, we have seen other ventures that
00:11:42have to do with the retail area, so to
00:11:45say that it is only a group that we have chosen, we are
00:11:49still seeing many projects, now with the tour at the
00:11:53beginning of 2027 we will see many more, and we hope
00:11:56God willing to be able to find projects that are distinctive, that
00:12:00are very important to solve problems in Venezuelan society
00:12:04and who knows if they can also be exposed at an international level. How to
00:12:08generate and link these projects that have been carried out
00:12:12with the new ones within this seedbed?
00:12:15Well, the Silicon Valley projects
00:12:19are all from the internal accelerator, so
00:12:22of course they have a correlation because
00:12:26the accelerator's interest is initially to scale them
00:12:29nationally and then for them to be
00:12:32able to grow internationally. And in your case, you are also in charge of the
00:12:35promotion and maintenance of the networks, how do you make sure that
00:12:39this reaches most Venezuelans? Well, we have
00:12:42a strategy not only through social
00:12:45networks but also by being able to
00:12:49sit down one on one with
00:12:52each of these project spaces, for example, with universities.
00:12:56to reach out to or integrate all those people who have good ideas, have good businesses that can bring to Venezuela
00:13:00as a good business model,
00:13:03but we have to open up,
00:13:07because that's basically what Venezuelans need right now, that
00:13:11we can open up to these projects. It's interesting in
00:13:14this final part to see that initiative from Dr. Ramón
00:13:18Rodríguez and in your case,
00:13:21Rigal, an initiative in Venezuela that seemed difficult,
00:13:25complicated with the crisis we had, now there's at least a little
00:13:28more horizon, but at the time you were born there were many
00:13:32difficulties with everything we had, that
00:13:35initial start, that initial engine, what
00:13:39led you to this? The engine
00:13:43that started us in all this process was obviously a prior
00:13:46market analysis, we understood that the Venezuelan market and
00:13:49especially here in Caracas had an opening, a small
00:13:53open door but it was not a big threshold and we wanted to
00:13:57have a threshold where entrepreneurs would find all those tools
00:14:01and that it would not only be training that would leave them halfway,
00:14:05but complete accompaniment. I feel that the
00:14:09differentiating value of the brand has given us approval
00:14:12and has given us a nice
00:14:15receptivity, important in all
00:14:18this group of people from Caracas
00:14:22and now especially also these people who are
00:14:25receiving us with so much enthusiasm and so much
00:14:29need in the interior of the country for their projects to be seen
00:14:32and taken into account, this has been a validation for Ramón and for
00:14:35me to say, we are definitely achieving it, it is a process that
00:14:39all... Yes, that's right, ambassador. Well,
00:14:43I invite everyone to continue participating and continue
00:14:46growing and believing in themselves in platforms like
00:14:50Silicon Valley, to boost themselves either in
00:14:54technology, in entrepreneurship, finance,
00:14:57new technologies, things that when you don't
00:15:01know them, you don't imagine all that there is to
00:15:05learn. We go to a commercial break and continue with embassies and ambassadors.
00:15:08In Silicon Valley, our facilities, we have already planned
00:15:12to hold a meetup or a branch where
00:15:15ambassadors can attend some
00:15:19highly valuable talks and where we can have
00:15:23very interesting networking not only
00:15:25for them, but also for these people who have valuable
00:15:29projects in the Venezuelan market and who can
00:15:32complement each other and for ambassadors to
00:15:35make known that they are the first entry point to
00:15:39these international markets. Now, Doctor Rigal, the academic
00:15:43part, the training, the staff, the need to enter these worlds of
00:15:46technology from the youngest
00:15:49age, with the courses that you have done and will do, how do you
00:15:52evaluate it? For us, the academy is very important, it is a
00:15:56validator, it is a decisive validator for the entrepreneurs
00:15:59that we receive, there is always a
00:16:03moment where young people are also learning in a very
00:16:06didactic way. Using
00:16:10social networks, but it is always key to also
00:16:14understand structure, also to understand several of the
00:16:17processes and for us it is also key the academic topic,
00:16:21we continue reinforcing internally, saying with conviction, the inclusion
00:16:25of professors and academics who come to complement, in
00:16:29conjunction with our mentors and and experts, all that is
00:16:33the formative part and of and of conformation
00:16:38what are the models and and verification of the
00:16:41business model, there is a structure there in Silicon Valley for those courses, for
00:16:45those programs that you have been developing, yes, in fact
00:16:48we are about to launch this which is a sprint, it's called
00:16:52Sprint Business Silicon Valley and I know that all this has a lot
00:16:56of Spanglish but with the concept of Silicon it is a
00:16:59concept brought from California and it brings a lot of that, it is also to
00:17:03offer through a short time, sprint is a
00:17:08that the ability to train in something that
00:17:11could be 8 or 9 months, to be able to find it in 2 weeks
00:17:14and immediately be able to make use of that resource and
00:17:17put it to work for them and their
00:17:21ventures, what final greeting will you give
00:17:24our audience, inviting them to participate in this? Well, to all our
00:17:28audience, an important message is to keep
00:17:32entrepreneurial, if you are at a point where you think that
00:17:34entrepreneurship has nothing more to give, there is always a new
00:17:38opportunity, spaces like Silicon Valley are the ones that provide the
00:17:41opportunity to be able to listen to them, to be able to support
00:17:44them, to be able to accompany them in all this
00:17:47process, follow us through social networks
00:17:51@silicon.valibzla, our website
00:17:55also at pinry @pinry, at this moment we are also offering
00:17:59at pinry an important opening in the recruitment of drivers, so if you are
00:18:03a woman who has a vehicle and wants to generate extra income, you can
00:18:06write to us through the link that is on the instagram of
00:18:10@pinryvenezuela and there we will gladly
00:18:12assist you, gladly receive all those people who
00:18:16want to download the application through play store and app store as well.
00:18:20Christopher, he has been our student in diplomacy and international
00:18:23law courses, beyond that, who do you invite from the
00:18:28participate in this world of technology and science? That's right,
00:18:32ambassador. Well, I invite everyone to continue
00:18:35participating and continue growing and
00:18:37believing in themselves. platforms like Silicon Valley can
00:18:41help them, either in the technological part, in
00:18:44entrepreneurship, finance, new technologies, things
00:18:47that when you don't know them, you don't imagine
00:19:18We invite you to download our Globovisión

00:19:46Today, Sunday, at 8 p.m., situational
00:19:50analysis, I will talk with the Minister of University
00:19:54Education, Ana María San Juan, about the
00:19:57situation of higher education and the new
00:20:00stage. With the resources of artificial
00:20:03intelligence. I believe that all universities have to agree and state
00:20:07in a law what the use will be, not only the moral
00:20:10use or the use
00:20:14from the perspective of humanity, but the
00:20:17factual use of artificial intelligence.
00:20:21Watch again situational analysis,
00:20:24Sunday 8 p.m. on
00:22:11La Guaira state has to be totally
00:22:14reconceptualized, probably the construction
00:22:17typologies, the designs.
00:22:21The methods,
00:22:24the tools that are incorporated into these
00:22:27buildings will be cutting-edge,
00:22:30they will be modern, high-tech.
00:23:03We continue the dialogue on Silicon Valley in Venezuela and technology
00:23:07with Bercil Rigal and Kristoffer Leal. Perecil Rigal, that
00:23:11responsibility you now have at the
00:23:14technological projects. What
00:23:17new projects do you have? At this moment, we have evaluated more than
00:23:215,000 projects, obviously not all of them are technology-based, we have
00:23:25prioritized all those that have a technological base and there is
00:23:28an open investment thesis there, we have seen many
00:23:32artificial intelligence projects, we have seen
00:23:36other ventures that have to do with the retail area,
00:23:39so to say that it's only one group that we have chosen,
00:23:43we are still seeing many projects, now with the tour at
00:23:46the beginning of 2027 we will see many more, and we hope
00:23:50God willing to be able to find projects that are distinctive, that
00:23:53are very important to solve problems in Venezuelan society
00:23:57and who knows if they can also be exposed at an international level. How to
00:24:01generate and link those projects that have been carried
00:24:04out with the new ones within this seedbed?
00:24:08Well, the Silicon Valley projects
00:24:11are all from the accelerator's
00:24:14internal division, so of course they have a
00:24:17correlation because the accelerator's interest
00:24:21is initially to scale it nationally and
00:24:24then for it to be able to grow internationally. And in your
00:24:28case, you are also in charge of the
00:24:31how do you make sure that this reaches most
00:24:34Venezuelans? Well, we have a strategy not
00:24:37only through social networks but
00:24:40also by being able to sit down one
00:24:44on one with each of these project
00:24:48spaces, for example, with universities.
00:24:58to touch or integrate all these people who have good ideas, have good businesses that can bring to Venezuela
00:25:01as a good business model,
00:25:05but we have
00:25:08because that's basically what Venezuelans need right now, that
00:25:11we can open up to these projects, it's interesting in
00:25:15this final part to see that initiative from Dr. Ramón
00:25:18Rodríguez and in your case,
00:25:22Rigal, an initiative in Venezuela that seemed difficult,
00:25:24complicated with the crisis we had, now there's at least a little
00:25:28more horizon, but at the moment you were born there were many
00:25:32difficulties with everything we had, that initial start, that initial
00:25:35engine, what led you to this? The engine
00:25:39that started us in all this process was obviously a prior
00:25:42market analysis, we understood that the Venezuelan market and
00:25:46especially here in Caracas had an opening, a small
00:25:50open door but it was not a big threshold and we wanted to
00:25:54have a threshold where entrepreneurs would find all those tools
00:25:58and that it would not only be training that would leave them halfway,
00:26:01but complete accompaniment. I feel that the
00:26:05differentiating value of the brand has given us approval and has
00:26:08given us a nice
00:26:11important in all this group
00:26:14of people from Caracas and now especially
00:26:17also these people who are receiving us with so much
00:26:21enthusiasm and so much need in the interior of the country
00:26:25for their projects to be seen and taken into account, this has
00:26:28been a validation for Ramón and for me to say, we are definitely
00:26:32still requires continued work and continued investment and continued
00:26:36effort, but we are willing to do it because the validation
00:26:39has given us the positive results that we have today. Christopher, it
00:26:43is interesting to know your direction, where you are, what you want to approach with any
00:26:47project and repeat the
00:26:51communicating with you, yes, basically
00:26:54we are located in the Parque Cristal Tower
00:26:57in Los Palos Grandes, West Tower, 6th
00:27:01floor, 603, 604 is Silicon Valley
00:27:05Venezuela with some companies, eh Beric
00:27:08Rigal, which are important in Venezuela, I believe they are also reaching agreements
00:27:12to join forces in other areas, but
00:27:16yes, in the development of artificial intelligence and robotics it is like that and
00:27:20all that is collaborative work where we can add and continue
00:27:23building ourselves as an ecosystem, as a country, as a community, it is very
00:27:27beautiful to keep promoting it to keep doing it from
00:27:30Silicon we have reached Ali
00:27:33marvelous, with spaces where before we might have thought
00:27:36that it couldn't exist, there is also an important opening
00:27:40of the different areas and the different businesses to
00:27:43integrate into all this technological theme, I think
00:27:46that the receptiveness and the positivism, but above all the
00:27:50willingness of the entrepreneurs currently is very
00:27:53positive and is very favorable for all other people eh Christopher
00:27:57Leal I have seen comments from some embassies, especially Arab ones
00:28:01that for cultural reasons they have the habit, for example, of
00:28:04wanting a female driver, in that case you have had that
