CIMAV

Cimav Unidad Monterrey is strategically located within the Parque de Investigación e Innovación Tecnológica (PIIT), a fourth-generation scientific and technological complex based on the triple helix model (collaboration between Government-Academia-Industry). The PIIT houses 8 higher education institutions (both national and foreign), 24 research centers (10 public and 14 private) and 2 incubators. The PIIT is a R+D+I specialized ecosystem that boosts the economy of knowledge. Cimav’s Unidad Monterrey, being a part of the PIIT, is strengthened along with all the institutions as each of them brings knowledge and work, collaborates with top-level scientific and technological infrastructure and collaborates with highly trained personnel. This Cimav’s unit possesses a highly qualified multidisciplinary team of researchers including design, synthesis, modification, characterization and micro and nanometric-levels materials application specialists. The different lines of research are interwoven with the objective of creating knowledge and developing scientific and technological advances to escalate them at an industrial level. In alignment with the Cimav’s strategic objectives, the Unidad Monterrey conducts research on advanced materials with applications on the energy, environment and health fields; it forms highly specialized human capital, and conducts outreach activities with the industrial sector.
