The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has indicated that through the Global Gateway program they will invest 45,000 million euros in Latin America and the Caribbean by 2027.

It is a project that “comes with the highest environmental and social standards, and with transparency,” according to the senior official.

The announcement was made during a CELAC-EU round table, where he stated: “Together, we designed a high-quality investment agenda, for the benefit of our two regions. We agreed on sectors and value chains to prioritize, clean energy and critical raw materials for health and education”.

It was learned that the program’s agenda includes diverse and multiple areas, such as the implementation of “an equitable green and digital transition on both sides of the Atlantic.”

It will be a joint effort between the EU and the representatives and partners of Latin America and the Caribbean, “in critical raw materials such as lithium in Argentina and Chile, the expansion of telecommunications networks in the Amazon region of Brazil, will help with electrification of public transport in Costa Rica, the construction of a metro line in Colombia, the deployment of a 5G network to provide broadband access throughout Jamaica and the modernization of the electrical network in Paraguay”.

The Global Gateway program, launched in 2021 in Europe, is aimed at strengthening ties between regions in strategic areas such as energy, the digital sector, transport, as well as health, education and research.

Apple is advancing in the production of its own screens and in its intention to reduce its dependence on supplier partners such as Samsung by betting on microLED technology, where it has already invested “at least a billion dollars in R&D” in the last ten years.

The company led by Tim Cook aims to manufacture its own components and reduce its dependence on other companies to have more control over its products. In this sense, it has already started a process to produce self-developed WiFi, Bluetooth and modem chips, replacing manufacturers such as Broadcom and Qualcomm in the future.

Likewise, in January of this year Apple already began testing the production of its own screens for its devices which, according to close sources, it would begin to implement in the brand’s high-end watches at the end of 2024.

Among other advantages, microLED screens use components at least a hundred times smaller than those used in products that use LED technology and are manufactured directly on wafers, allowing thinner screens to be created. They also have lower power consumption and offer higher brightness performance outdoors.

To carry out this production, Nikkei Asia has announced that Apple has partnered with suppliers such as Osram for microLED components, LG Display for substrates and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. for wafers.

In addition to all this, Apple has also designed some of the production equipment to better control the mass transfer process. That is, the process of moving tens of thousands of microLED chips onto substrates. “This shows how determined Apple is to allocate resources to have more control over next-generation display technologies,” according to one of the sources.

Following this line, the mass transfer process will be carried out in an R&D facility that Apple has in the city of Taoyuan (Taiwan), where it is estimated that it has a team of more than a thousand people.

This microLED display technology is still in a testing phase. However, Apple plans to introduce it to its iPhones, as “it’s their key revenue stream and has much higher volume.” With this, it intends to “justify the investments over the years”, according to the sources, who claim to have seen a sample of the microLED screen.

With an estimated investment of USD 30 billion, India will launch 5G technology. The launch is scheduled for next October 1st during the Mobile Congress of India, the largest of its kind in Asia.

According to direct statements by the Indian Minister, Narendra Modi, the country seeks a greater participation in the competitive market for this technology, with which they intend to provide assistance to 80 % of the population in the short term.

The Indian authorities have invested millions of dollars to achieve the deployment of 4G and 5G technology, with spectrum expansion to the most remote populations. It is important to point out that in August the Department of Telecommunications completed the spectrum auction for 19,000 million dollars, with the participation of the companies Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone.

The local company Raliance Jio is the standard-bearer of the local market, ranking as the second-largest mobile phone company. The firm has developed an independent architecture to bring the service to users with superior benefits.
