DETEC, a Monterrey-based engineering and technology firm, was awarded the Trilateral Innovation Excellence Award at the Born Global Summit & Awards during SXSW in Austin, Texas. The award recognizes DETEC as a Born Global innovator fostering cross-border collaboration among Mexico, the United States, and Canada, underscoring its growing influence as a tri-national organization with operations in Monterrey, Austin, and Toronto.
Pedro Noriega, CEO of DETEC, stated, 'This award is a validation that we are on the right track. What we have been building for the last decade or so, taking a step further beyond borders and promoting international collaboration, is starting to become a reality, and we believe we have tremendous potential on a global scale.' The company’s work includes developing telecommunications solutions using Qualcomm technology and planning to manufacture a 5G cellular phone module in the United States.
Humberto Hernández Haddad, Consul General of Mexico in Austin, acknowledged DETEC as a quintessential example of successful trilateral cooperation, noting that 'companies like DETEC are opening new ground for collaboration. They are facilitating the exchange of knowledge, capital, and talent on a global scale to help shape the future of innovation in various sectors, including telecommunications, biomedical services, and many other fields.'
DETEC’s tri-national structure includes partnerships with US-based Tech Ranch, a technology business incubator in Austin, and Canadian collaborators in Toronto. This collaboration focuses on cutting-edge technology development. Noriega encouraged other entrepreneurs to 'think global. Be borderless,' adding that 'Mexico has a clear path forward as a leader in innovation and economic development, and we want to inspire others to take that step.'
The award highlights DETEC's role as a representative of Latin American innovation on the global stage and its contributions to cross-border collaboration in an interconnected world. For more information, visit detec-digital.com.
