Our colleagues, José Luis Elejalde and Iñigo Urarte recently discussed the benefits of Systematic Innovation at a forum attended by numerous entrepreneurs of the region
Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas.- To enable entrepreneurs and investors in Nuevo Laredo (Mexico) to discover the positive advantages of systematically innovating in their businesses, the Socio-economic and Technological Innovation Centre (IST Centre), and the Secretariat for Economic Development of the Municipal Government, in coordination with TECNALIA, organised the 'Innovation Forum: Companies Facing the Challenge of Systematic Innovation'.
The event, which was held last Thursday at a well-known hotel in the city of Nuevo Laredo, included the participation of over twenty entrepreneurs and company directors, customs agencies and schools, to find out about the new theme of innovation.
The conferences were given by José Luis Elejalde, Director of Lab_Services at TECNALIA and Iñigo Urarte Ibáñez, representative of the Innovation Office at TECNALIA, who showed attendees the competitive advantages for companies, from small butcher's to large industries which already apply systematic and technological innovation, helping them to grow economically and to expand.
