The Puerto Rico Information Technology Cluster (PR IT Cluster) is an alliance of industry, government and academia committed to position Puerto Rico as a national and global leader in information technology services and innovation. Our goal is to help change the technology landscape in Puerto Rico, create more jobs, better prepare local technology companies for the market demand, close the gap between educational institutions and the needs of technology companies, export technology services and other initiatives. The PR IT Cluster is comprised by software and solution developers, consultants, policy makers, infrastructure companies, and academic institutions. Puerto Rico's value proposition includes a strong pipeline of certified consultants and IT talent with solid past performance in the private and public sector. Because Puerto Rico is a United States of America jurisdiction, all our services are offered by U.S. Citizens under U.S. legal framework and intellectual property protection. In addition to our strong communications infrastructure, human resources, and proven past performance, members of the P.R. IT Cluster offer twenty to thirty-five percent (20-35%) lower wages than any other region under U.S. Territory. This has spawned a vibrant and dynamic group of companies providing innovative solutions and services.
