Testimonials

The greatest learning that the course left me was that the public and private sectors are not fighting; It is possible that both can collaborate, especially if it is for the good of the citizenship. Mexico has great technological potential and it is in us to be able to exploit it, it is simply a matter of losing the fear of the technological changes that we are facing as a world in general.

The greatness behind what has been learned in the Government and Public Transformation class is the fact that these learnings serve a lot to create projects with an impact on society, but also for any change you want to make from a personal level to a professional level, business.
