Andres Morales, Representative of UNESCO Mexico, said that “A year ago we had the opportunity to invite Governor Rodriguez Vallejo to be with us at the World Science Forum that was held in South Africa and for the first time from Africa it was possible to know what Mindfacture is, because it is a very good practice of how to put innovation, knowledge and science to the service of people, how to ensure that the entire ecosystem of entrepreneurs, businessmen, scientists, mentors, are at the service of putting “technology and innovation for sustainable development and social prosperity at the center”.
