Abstract :
A research center, devoted to high technology engineering projects has to deal with collapsing markets, in a developing country. Provided with well qualified human resources, with above average equipment, and a solid customer´s portfolio, the Center focuses its mission in a good support for the industry, increasing short and medium term benefits both for the Center and the customer. By managing the technology from the starting point of product and processes design, providing tools and machinery design and prototypes, and supporting manufacturing process, the group expects to make a highly positive impact in sensitive industrial sectors such as mechanical, telecommunications and electronic devices. The way to reach those goals started by a renewal of the organization chart, and a very strict technical competences inventory, in order to enhance the technical knowledge among the partners, but visualizing only high technology projects, as a strong pulling string for Mexican enterprises. Management of technology became the motto, and every concept or initiative launched was analyzed from the point of view of technology development, transfer, or as a base for future technological improvements. Wide country data, intellectual property figures and case studies are shown to demonstrate the pushing role of this research center in Mexico.
