Alliances 4.0
This agreement will allow the entrepreneurs of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center to carry out technological projects directly with the industrial sector through the platform.
"Business-university alliances are an important point to develop the innovation industry; there is no industry 4.0 without a society 4.0 and there is no society 4.0 without society 4.0," commented Manuel Sandoval.
He also emphasized that learning is the basis for social change: "there are challenges beyond the technological ones and technology is not an end, it is an enabler for that social change".
In this sense, the academy will be the guide to empower entrepreneurial talent and detonate research, consulting, implementation and training to boost the competitiveness of companies through new tools and technological models.
For his part, the director of the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation stated that the alliance celebrated: "for the young people, our technological entrepreneurs, will constitute a great boost in their development and strengthening by allowing them to be in contact with tools and models based on new technologies, working directly with large companies in projects that require the impulse of technology to be more competitive; strengthening the entrepreneurial ecosystem of our students".
Both the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation and the School of Engineering will promote and guide technological entrepreneurship and seek more spaces for its strengthening and development, as well as research hand in hand with the industry.
