“In order to face the challenges of the world, it is important that Guanajuato and the European Union strengthen their alliance through education”, said Governor of the State, Diego Sinhue Rodríguez Vallejo.
The Governor presented the lecture: “The Strategy of Guanajuato: The Valley of Mentefacture”, which was held in the High-Level Forum Europe-Mexico in the Alhondiga de Granaditas.
The world has changed in the last 30 years, and the best strategy to adapt and continue to grow in the global arena are alliances between nations, which must be consolidated between America and the European Union, said the Governor.
“And the best investment that Europe can make in America is through education, to continue raising the educational level; it is necessary to open the doors to innovation, with a vision of the future”, emphasized the Governor.
For this reason, in Guanajuato innovation and entrepreneurship are promoted, materialized in the Valley of Mindfacture. “It is the space in which we Guanajuatenses are doing something extraordinary from the ordinary,” said Rodriguez Vallejo.
The Governor commented that with the European Union, Guanajuato has a shared vision and a passion for innovation and the future.
The Governor recalled that 22 years ago the Free Trade Agreement of the European Union and Mexico was signed, which was a trigger for economic and commercial dynamism between both regions.
Mexico is the second trading partner of the European Union in Latin America, added the Governor.
Rodriguez Vallejo noted that Guanajuato has great alliances with European countries, including Germany with the Hannover Messe. Our State has become the epicenter of industry 4.0 and Mindfacture in Mexico and Latin America.
The Governor explained that the Valley of Mindfacture is an ecosystem of innovation and entrepreneurship. This ecosystem consists of making resources visible, connecting them and producing value-added products and services.
“We have made Mindfacture a public policy with innovation as its central axis”, said the Governor, who commented that in September 2020, the Institute of Innovation, Science and Entrepreneurship for Competitiveness -IDEA GTO- was created.
He said that there is constant activity within this Valley of Mindfacture, and he named for example:
- Entrepreneurship and innovation communities with chambers, associations and students
- Training and support for Startups, as well as investors
The Governor also highlighted that with the social project “Nodes of Mindfacture”, Guanajuato won second place in the Smart City Expo Latam Congress.
“Competitive communities have been generated, benefiting hundreds of families,” said the Governor.
Rodriguez Vallejo noted that as of last month, the Valley of Mindfacture is part of the MIT Fab Lab Network where Guanajuato is recognized by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as an international Fab Lab region, with the Network of Networks strategy, made up of Mindfacture nodes, innovation and entrepreneurship gyms, incubators and accelerators, he said.
