Linking and Services
The Directorate of Technological Development of INAOE is the area responsible for linking part of the institution's scientific and technological work with the private company and with the governmental sphere, with the objective of helping to solve the problems in the country. In addition to being the link between the Institute and society, it is the unit responsible for capturing its own economic resources.
For several years now, the Technological Development Department of INAOE offers services to external sectors through specialized projects and courses aimed at the industry. Specific projects have solved specific problems of the private industry as well as the public sector, developing knowledge and technology. Through this link, the Institute has demonstrated that basic and applied science can be transferred to the productive and services sector in the form of equipment, processes and methods, which increase competition and generate new jobs for highly trained personnel.
