The Governor of Guanajuato, Diego Sinhue Rodriguez Vallejo, gave the master lecture, “The Valley of Mindfacture for Social Evolution”, as part of the activities of the State Day of Mindfacture and awarded recognitions to Guanajuatenses who lead outstanding projects in innovation.
The Governor spoke about a vision of the State, the ecosystem of the Valley of Mindfacture, projects, Innovation and Social Evolution.
“In Guanajuato we like strategic planning. 30 years ago, there was a vision of the current Guanajuato, that of an industrial power. And today we have the vision of Guanajuato for the next 30 years, which is the Guanajuato of the knowledge economy, that of Mindfacture and industry 4.0”, said the Governor.
“We made Mindfacture a public policy with measurable objectives and a transversal strategy, having innovation as its central axis”, said the Governor.
The ecosystem that Guanajuato built during the last three decades is made up of universities, research centers, incubators, industrial parks, etc., which was given an identity as the “Valley of Mindfacture “.
A public policy that has already been recognized internationally.
Guanajuato exports successful experiences of innovation and social evolution that contribute to the solution of problems that affect human beings throughout the world.
Rodriguez Vallejo spoke of the strategic alliances with this public policy, such as the one made with UNESCO, an organization with which they work to systematize the Mindfacture in Guanajuato, and thus maintain a transversal and inclusive impact, which transcends state borders and links to Guanajuato with other States, Countries and international organizations.
“Our vision is to strengthen this ecosystem of innovation and entrepreneurship. Always keep it dynamic, for example, through pitch sessions (as it occurs with the Hannover Messe); investment events, hackathons and other activities”, said the Rodriguez Vallejo.
The Governor said that in Guanajuato, any citizen who wants to start a business in Guanajuato is supported through different channels; and the gateway is IDEA GTO, where they have mentors, incubators and accelerators.
Rodriguez Vallejo explained that the State Government has the Mindfacture Projects, which has deployed the “Mentefactúralo” Fund of 100 million pesos, which has resulted in 51 incubation and acceleration projects, 650 pre-incubation projects in Innovation Gyms and Entrepreneurship, 35 projects of new products and solutions to the Valley of Mindfacture, 350 supports in training talent for mentors and investors and 10 incubators promoted.
Guanajuato also has the NODES of Mindfacture, which are the transfer of knowledge to citizens, training them in a new way of producing and generating income as a cooperative.
Currently there are 9 NODES operating, and 5 more in initial stages, dedicated to hydroponics, plastic wood, bio-fertilizer, hygiene, essences, and food technology.
There are also 30 Innovation and Entrepreneurship gyms, where we support the ideas and projects of the entrepreneurs of Guanajuato.
In addition, the Mentefacturalo Fund supports projects that meet the needs of the environment, health and development of people in all municipalities. “And all this is what we call the Mindfacture for Social Evolution,” Rodriguez Vallejo said.
For this reason, in Guanajuato we know and recognize the people, projects and institutions that are promoting the Guanajuato of the future, who are building the Greatness of the Valley of Mindfacture.
