The Tecnologico de Monterrey in its vision for the year 2015, has defined as a priority the endorsement of economic development based on knowledge in the regions where it has presence and influence.

In general, this development can be achieved through key factors, such as: the capitalization of talent and knowledge of researchers and students, creation of environments conducive to entrepreneurship and business innovation, business incubation and acceleration of new businesses, and attracting high-value companies, among others. All of these factors in the framework of an aligned vision and strategy aligned with the opportunities of the region.

The role of universities in high value economies has been fundamental, as these institutions are the promoters of creation, transference of knowledge and catalyst of innovation-based enterprises.
