    Why Monterrey

    Monterrey concentrates corporate headquarters, industrial companies going through digital transformation and universities with large engineering programs. That makes it the right city for innovation challenges where a company brings a real business problem and students and developers build solutions against it.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do you organize a corporate hackathon in Monterrey?

    Mobil3 runs it in four steps: discovery of the business problem and audience (usually two weeks), program design with KPIs and deliverables, operation in Monterrey with recruitment, mentors and judges, and a final report measured against the agreed KPIs. You send a written request and we reply with a proposal.

    Can a hackathon in Monterrey be built around our company's problem?

    Yes. That is the core of an innovation challenge. Your team brings a real problem, Mobil3 turns it into a challenge brief, recruits the right students and developers, and runs the program so the solutions come back to your team with the teams that built them.

    What does a company get at the end of a program in Monterrey?

    A report of who took part, what got built and what came out, measured against the KPIs agreed before the program started. Depending on the goal, that includes solutions to the challenge, qualified participants, developer adoption and the relationships opened with local universities.

    Are Mobil3 programs free for students and developers?

    Yes. Programs are free for students, developers and founders, and Mobil3 never takes equity. The company or institution behind the program covers its cost. Participants get mentorship, prizes when the program includes them, startup perks from partner programs and direct access to the companies involved.

    Does Mobil3 already run programs in Monterrey?

    Yes. With Universidad del Norte we run in-person build sessions for students and developers, with hands-on workshops, teamwork, mentorship and prizes for standout projects. We are preparing the full case study.
