Companies that support us
People in our programs get credits, tools and support from this network.
Guadalajara combines a large base of software engineers, public universities with strong engineering programs, and state innovation offices that run their own programs. Mobil3 already works with Universidad de Guadalajara, with REDi, Jalisco's network of innovation centers, and with the Jalisco state government, so a company arriving in Jalisco starts with the local relationships in place instead of building them from zero.
