Entrepreneurial Program Story
-
At the end of 1970, the Institution considered appropriate for its graduates to had an entrepreneurial attitude in addition to the goal of only occupying positions in established companies. Therefore, a need to give students a special training to not only introduce them but also to equip them with the tools needed with this new panorama, was born.
In accordance with the above, Tecnológico de Monterrey began operating in 1978 the Entrepreneur Program, through a small group of professors and businessmen who, constituted in a committee, guided a group of students in the process of creating a company . This program was subsequently transformed into the entrepreneurial program.
Thanks to this program, various support projects have been triggered that continue to promote the entrepreneurial spirit of the Tecnológico de Monterrey Community, such as the incubators and accelerators of Companies.
