Through a multidisciplinary team, our purpose is to develop training and research strategies to address some of the main social needs of the country and the world, generating and validating innovative solutions.
The Social Innovation Center develops social impact projects that favor the communities and cooperatives with which we collaborate in organizational, economic, social, community and sustainability aspects, among others.
In this Center, you can develop, innovate, create and, mostly, combine efforts in willingness to contribute and generate empathy, learning and actions that allow you improve life quality of people in communities with whom we collaborate.
The Social Innovation Center has the purpose of linking national and foreign students and universities willing to work together on social innovation projects. It is concretized as a world-class center, with an interdisciplinary team that will contribute to the generation of an ecosystem of social innovation, for research, generation and validation of innovative solutions to this problem.
The course will take place in the city of San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas. A multicultural city where the worldview of indigenous peoples descended from the Maya coexists with the international vision of visitors and residents from around the world.
Through academic challenges we address the needs of communities and organizations of different municipalities in the region called "Los Altos de Chiapas", mostly belonging to the Tzotzil ethnic group who subsist through different social, productive and commercial projects.

We, at Center for Social Innovation, provide an experiential learning experience with a holistic and inclusive approach, addressing the different dimensions of the human being, henceforth the participants strengthen their authentic self thus developing their capabilities as change agents. Awakening Week consists of five immersive days of educational and recreational activities through personal accompaniment and strengthening for young people motivated to grow to serve, forming in our highschool students' social responsibility as an axis of life.
Social Innovation Concentration is offered through a Tec Semester in Chiapas, providing experiential learning´s experience with a holistic and inclusive approach, addressing 4 fundamental axes of knowledge in Social Innovation:
Generate original and creative solutions, using innovative concepts and/or tools to satisfy a need, solve a problem or make a significant contribution to a product, process or service in the community in which they work.
Participate in favor of the strengthening of democracy and the joint, committed and supportive solution of the problems and needs of today's society to serve others with responsibility and justice.
Identifies opportunities that allow developing and implementing new ideas that transform reality and generate social, economic and environmental value.
Respond constructively and from an ethical point of view to the problems and needs of the various areas of life, through a prior process of reflection, which allows you to take perspective with imagination and impartiality in the face of personal and other situations, decide for yourself, and act with responsibility, commitment and justice.
Tec Semester, social innovation concentration and 200 citizen social service hours.

Tec de Monterrey invites the community to participate in the call “Guardians of Memories” that aims to collect and document the collective memories of TEC across the first 80 years since its foundation.
For the last past 80 years, the history of TEC has been shaped by the history of its people. Every student, collaborator, professor, parent, and member of the wider community has left their mark.
The aim of this call is to summon the “Guardians of Memories”, since we are aware that their history is our history.
This is why, in order to celebrate these first eight decades, we want to bring to light and relate all those achievements, milestones, fun facts, and moments, thereby remembering and honoring our past, acting in the present and, together, building the future society needs.
Estamos buscando a la familia con la mayor cantidad de estudiantes de nuestra Institución para contar su historia e invitarlos a formar parte de la celebración del 80 aniversario.

Mi abuelo, el profesor Federico Kleen de Oldemburgo, Alemania, fue fundador del Tec dando clases de inglés. Su hija la Lic. Elisabeth Kleen de Hinojosa dió clases de inglés y alemán.
Elsa María Hinojosa Kleen (servidora) trabajó durante 24 años en el Tec. A su vez, su hija, Ann Elisabeth Mancillas Hinojosa trabajó en la preparatoria Garza Sada y Santa Catarina. 4 generaciones trabajando en el Tec.
Clase de deportes, generación de Arquitectura 1965.
Graduación de mi papá, Oscar Ontiveros Dávila, en el Hotel Ancira, con su grupo de amigos de la generación de arquitectura en 1965, con sus respectivas novias.
En la carrera de Licenciado en Ciencias de la Comunicación (LCC) había una materia llamada Producción Cinematográfica en donde teníamos que filmar una película de 10 minutos.
La fotografía que comparto es de un día de filmación en un pueblo cerca de Monterrey.
Recuerdo de un gran logro del TEC, del Dr Rafael Sostman, el Dr Bert Valencia (Thunderbird) y de los Maestros: Mireya Maldonado, Jesús Enrique Portillo, Sergio Ortiz, Luis Moreno y Ricardo Valdéz que en el año 1996 fueron la Primera Generación de maestr@s que se graduaron de Thunderbird, Phoenix, Arizona, EUA.
Llevo desde secundaria (2012) en el Tec. Me ha aportado muchísimas de las habilidades y crecimiento tanto profesional como personal que he tenido en los 11 años que he estado en la institución.
Definitivamente ha sido de las mejores decisiones que he tomado. Una foto del salón LAF de financiación de las finanzas sostenibles con David Noel.
