Hacking Hub
Ideas connected with the power of innovation
“Great leaders find ways to connect with their people and help them reach their full potential.”-STEVEN J. STOWELL
Hacking Hub is an innovation space where ideas will have a meeting for youth to propose solutions to today’s problems. It’s that site to create, innovate and undertake alongside others and others. A place of links where projects start to take shape. It is three days in which we will connect to mentor and mentor new ideas and existing projects towards the path of success. We want Jalisco to remain that state that stands out for innovation, so our call will launch two challenges so that in unity we will find those solutions to the reality that our state faces.
We will have two virtual events open for those who want to innovate and make a difference. It is time to generate a community, to unite our minds and desires to bring about great changes. Amidst the circumstances that we live in Huorice in conjunction with the Secretariat of Innovation, Science and Technology recognize the importance of keeping the innovation ecosystem active, thus creating the need for a space that serves as a platform for transformative ideas.
