InnovaFest 2026 kicks off in Monterrey

InnovaFest 2026 officially kicked off in Monterrey, establishing itself as a meeting place to promote intellectual property, technological development, and collaboration among the various stakeholders involved in Mexico’s value chains.

The event brings together students, entrepreneurs, companies, investors, and government officials with the goal of strengthening the country’s innovation and productivity ecosystem. Beyond digital trends, this year’s festival features a discussion on how emerging tools can translate into concrete benefits for society.

Unlike other events focused exclusively on entrepreneurship, InnovaFest 2026 seeks to create direct connections between innovation, productivity, and business development. The agenda includes topics related to financing for startups, artificial intelligence applications in business, women’s leadership, corporate equity, and circular economy models.

Highlights include panels featuring executives from Bitso and Kavak, who will address the financing challenges faced by startups and high-growth companies. Executives from Arca Continental, Vitro, and Xignux will also participate, alongside Federal Secretary of Economy Marcelo Ebrard, with the aim of strengthening the connection between talent, innovation, and productive investment.
