2. Q&A Session
• The TechBA program was created in 2005 as a strategic instrument of Mexico’s Ministry of Economy and the US-Mexico Foundation for Science (FUMEC) to support Mexican technology-based companies in accessing highly dynamic and competitive markets.
• Technology-based companies represent a strong opportunity to accelerate a country’s economic development.
• The program has 8 offices, 5 of which are in the United States, 2 in Canada, and 1 in Spain as the gateway to the European Union.
What is TechBA
TechBA has branches in some of the most innovative ecosystems in the world.

• From 2005 to date, a total of 660 companies have participated in the acceleration process, generating more than USD $435 million in international sales during their stay in the program and detonating sustained growth.
• In sectors such as life sciences and manufacturing, the growth in total international sales of participating companies has been exponential with annual averages of 352% and 119% respectively, due to a growth in annual sales per company and a greater number of increasingly robust companies.

TechBA in words of its companies
“TechBA is like an MBA in the university of life. Of the programs I’ve known, TechBA is one of those that is working in a critical direction to change the trajectory of the country.”
Luis Aburto, Director of Scio.
“TechBA is not for everyone. Companies have to present a good project as they take you to compete against the best. Had it not been for working with TechBA I would never even have thought that there were opportunities in Spain.”
Jorge Herrera, Director of CECYPE.
“The consultants at TechBA are true experts in the material because they have personally lived through the problems [that we confront].”
Jesús Mesta, General Director of Soisa.
“TechBA’s support has been fundamental to react and transform our offer and as such attend to the demands of our potential clients. It has allowed us to optimally understand the signals of the market.”
Ralph Aceves, CEO of Ovalpath.
