History and objectives
The Technological Institute of Monterrey was founded in 1943 thanks to the vision of Eugenio Garza Sada and a group of entrepreneurs who formed a non-profit association called Enseñanza e Investigación Superior, A. C. Tec is a private, non-profit, independent institution with no political and religious affiliations. Besides, it enjoys the status of Free University School, which enables it to function as an educational institution.
The Technological Institute of Monterrey’s goal is to produce information capable of transforming lives. We use educational experiences to shape individuals into agents of change willing to work for the benefit of all—individuals who take responsibility for their own lives and are aware that their actions can transform others—capable, talented, upright, committed, involved visionaries with a global perspective and entrepreneurial spirit, not only at the university but in all spheres of their lives.
