Our institution was founded in 1943 thanks to the vision and commitment of Mr. Eugenio Garza Sada and a group of businessmen who established an association called Enseñanza e Investigación Superior, A. C., which on September 6th of that year created the Tecnológico de Monterrey , an institution of higher education which began with 350 students in an old house in downtown Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, México.
The Tecnológico de Monterrey System evolved into a university system integrated by 4 institutions:
• Tecnológico de Monterrey
• Universidad TecMilenio
• Universidad TecVirtual
• TecSalud
At the Tecnológico de Monterrey we educate citizens who are ethical and socially responsible, with a humanistic and international outlook. We carry out scientific and technological research in strategic areas. With our network of Technology Parks and our business incubators and accelerators, we promote the creation of wealth and well-being in the different regions of our country; and with our entrepreneurial and social development programs we contribute to the improvement of living conditions in other sectors of the population.
In addition, we expanded our academic coverage by offering an excellent quality education to different sectors of the society through the Universidad TecMilenio and the Universidad TecVirtual.
At our TecSalud we educate and train world class physicians and medical professionals, we conduct research that generates new knowledge and provide the best medical care and health solutions in México.
The founders of Tecnológico de Monterrey established a civil association called Enseñanza e Investigación Superior, A. C. To this day, it is the highest authority of The Tecnológico de Monterrey System.
The geographic expansion of The Tecnológico de Monterrey System was possible due to the support of groups of persons located in the different regions in the Mexican Republic. These groups constituted civil organizations that sponsor the campuses of our university system.
The Board of Trustees of these associations meet annually with the purpose of reviewing results of the previous period and establishing the new leading goals and strategies that will guide the decisions made for The Tecnológico de Monterrey System.
