Corporate hackathons and open innovation in Monterrey
Mobil3 runs corporate hackathons and open innovation challenges in Monterrey for companies that want students and developers working on a real business problem. We turn the problem into a challenge brief, recruit the right people in Nuevo León, run the program and hand the solutions back with the teams that built them.
Why Monterrey
Monterrey is home to large industrial groups and corporates in the middle of digital transformation, next to universities with large engineering programs. That combination makes it the natural city for challenges where a company brings an operational problem and gets working prototypes and people it may want to hire.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a good problem for a corporate hackathon in Monterrey?
A specific operational or product problem with data or a system the teams can work on, a clear owner inside the company and a decision you are ready to make with the results. Mobil3 helps turn it into a challenge brief during discovery, before anything is booked.
Can a hackathon in Monterrey help us hire engineers?
It can be one of the KPIs. Teams work on your problem for real hours, so you see how people build, not just their CV. Mobil3 reports who took part and how teams performed, and hiring conversations happen directly between your company and the participants.
Who owns what teams build during a corporate challenge?
Ownership is agreed in the challenge rules before recruitment opens, so participants and your company know the terms from the start. By default, participants keep what they build, and companies agree any licensing or follow-on work directly with the teams.
