President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador led the inauguration of these offices as part of a strategic agreement with Google to drive the modernization of public services in key areas such as healthcare, education, and administrative procedures. Accompanied by Eduardo López, President of Google Cloud for Latin America, and US Ambassador to El Salvador William Duncan, Bukele highlighted the positive impact these measures will have on the country's development.

Google's physical presence in El Salvador symbolizes a significant change in the country's technological infrastructure, and President Bukele emphasized his government's commitment to digital transformation and improving public services. He noted that students across the country already have devices equipped with Google Classroom, a crucial step towards digitization and improving education in El Salvador.

The agreement between Google and El Salvador, framed within the General Law for the Digital Modernization of the State, establishes the provision of Google Cloud services for seven years. This represents a strategic collaboration to advance areas such as digital government, health, and education, with the aim of improving citizen services through digitization and interoperability between institutions.

Eduardo López, President of Google Cloud for Latin America, highlighted the company's commitment to the economic development and digital transformation of El Salvador. Since August 2023, Google has been working in collaboration with the Salvadoran government to modernize its processes and services, with a focus on areas such as health and education.

In addition to the opening of offices, Google.org, the philanthropic arm of Google, announced a donation of $200,000 to civil society organizations in the region to provide digital skills training to local entrepreneurs. This initiative reflects Google's commitment to the growth and development of local businesses in El Salvador.

The inauguration of Google's offices in El Salvador marks an important milestone on the path to the country's modernization and digital transformation. With a focus on education, health, and digital government, this strategic collaboration between Google and El Salvador promises to drive economic development and improve the quality of life for Salvadoran citizens.
