Project Overview:
Leadership at Monterrey Tec is committed to positioning the university as a catalyst for regeneration of higher education and of the connections between universities, their communities, and the Mexican economy.

The Innovation District represents a leap in establishing the Tec as a clear national leader in entrepreneurship. It creates - in the context of a dynamic mixed-use development - an ecosystem that fosters strong ties between academia, allied industries, and the community. With the Expedition and Innovation Hub buildings as its anchor, the district offers housing, offices, labs and community uses, all connected by a network of verdant public spaces and streets.
