Emprendimiento e Innovación

Al final de la década de los setenta, el Tecnológico de Monterrey consideró deseable que sus egresados tuvieran una actitud emprendedora y no solo como meta ocupar puestos en empresas ya establecidas. Para ello era necesario dar a los alumnos una formación especial que no solamente les presentara el camino del emprendimiento, sino que les diera las herramientas necesarias para transitar en ese camino. Así fue como en 1978 comenzó el Programa Empresario, a través de un pequeño grupo de profesores y empresarios que guiaron a un grupo de alumnos en el proceso de creación de una empresa. Este programa se transformó posteriormente en el Programa Emprendedor. Gracias a este programa, se han detonado diversos proyectos de apoyo que continúan promoviendo el espíritu emprendedor de la comunidad del Tecnológico de Monterrey generando uno de los ecosistemas de emprendimiento universitario más dinámicos y completos de América Latina e incluso del mundo.

El emprendimiento es parte del ADN de la Institución. El Tec fue fundado por emprendedores y es un semillero de jóvenes emprendedores que al graduarse se convierten en empresarios exitosos (41% de los egresados han iniciado por lo menos una empresa) que han generado 2.8 millones de empleos e innovando en una gran cantidad de áreas según el “Estudio Impacto Económico de los Egresados del Tec de Monterrey en el Mundo” (QS, 2018).

Como grupo de investigación, nuestro objetivo es potenciar y difundir la investigación en el ámbito del emprendimiento y la innovación como herramientas fundamentales para fortalecer el desarrollo económico y social enfocándonos en estas líneas de investigación:

  1. Ecosistemas de emprendimiento: tiene como objetivo el estudio sistemático de las implicaciones económicas y sociales de la creación de nuevas empresas, así como los actores y las condiciones relevantes para potenciar las actividades de emprendimiento. Dentro de este tema se analizará el contexto y las características del emprendimiento en sus tres niveles: individual, regional y nacional.
  2. Emprendimiento social: Su objetivo es el estudio de procesos en torno a los negocios que se crean para mayores metas sociales y ambientales y no solo la búsqueda de ganancias. Esto incluye la noción de emprendimiento consciente y la relación de actividades emprendedoras que tienen impacto social.
  3. Educación para el emprendimiento: Tiene como objetivo analizar los procesos de enseñanza del emprendimiento desde una perspectiva de gestión. En consecuencia, se busca tener una mejor comprensión del impacto de los cursos de emprendimiento en la educación superior, los mecanismos que generan el emprendimiento y el desarrollo profesional, además del estudio de las motivaciones emprendedoras y contextos culturales.
  4. Emprendimiento corporativo: Tiene como objetivo analizar qué procesos de innovación dentro de las organizaciones establecidas generan nuevas oportunidades de negocio y la consecuente creación de emprendimientos corporativos. Este tema incluye el estudio de la cultura del emprendimiento al interior de la organización, la estrategia de innovación y los mecanismos para implementar programas o proyectos de emprendimiento, incluido el capital riesgo corporativo.
