Professionals who build up the competitive capacities of the region's productive manufacturing and transformation sectors by developing innovative products, services, experiences and processes.

In order to address the inherent challenges of today's life, we need to approach the productive sectors' participation in socioeconomic development from a different perspective. Our program proposes the development and application of strategic design through five core principles that generate value for productive organizations in a contingent world: a person-oriented approach, an ecosystemic vision based on circular economies, an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary focus, a commitment to contribute the value of innovation, and a critical awareness of civilizational transitions. Now is the time to contribute to the creation of a different world, where design and innovations are at the service of people, in connection with nature, and conducive to a fairer and more equitable society.

Principles of strategic design (Civilizational transitions – Ecosystemic vision – Value of innovation – Inter and transdisciplinary – Centered on people)
