Tec was founded in 1943 by a group of local business people who were concerned about a shortage of engineers and middle managers to support and enable Mexico´s nascent industrialization. Tec was established to form the type of professional required to build a modern society and economy. Requests from other business owners with similar concerns across Mexico led to a national expansion, which today consists of twenty-six campuses. It was the first university in Latin America to connect to the Internet and was among the first to create a virtual university in the mid-1990s. Entrepreneurship and innovation is in Tec's DNA and the evidence is in the results. Tec will be the first institution that is focusing on entrepreneurship for human flourishing, which we define as the continuous developing of people, the intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and wellness elements, to have a positive impact on the environment and society.
