Why Monterrey
The Monterrey metro area spans several municipalities with their own innovation agendas, next to an industrial base that can co-fund and adopt what a pilot proves. Mobil3 brings developers, students and companies into public programs so results can scale beyond the pilot.

Frequently asked questions
Can a municipality in the Monterrey metro area run a pilot with Mobil3?
Yes. Mobil3 runs a 22-week pilot cycle: two weeks of brief, eight of design inside procurement rules, twelve operating the pilot with real users and a scale decision at the end. Send a brief with the mandate and timeline and we reply within five business days.
Can companies in Nuevo León co-fund a public innovation program?
Mixed programs are possible when the mandate allows it. Mobil3 designs the governance and reporting so the public office keeps ownership of the mandate and the results, and the companies involved know exactly what they fund and what they get.
What makes a public problem a good fit for an open challenge?
A specific problem that affects residents, data or a service teams can work with, an office that owns the result and the ability to pilot what wins. Mobil3 helps define it during the brief, before any recruitment starts.
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.
