CODIGOS | T-Systems Programa de Aceleración 2021

What is CODIGOS?

CODIGOS is an initiative of T-Systems, with the support of important companies of information and digital technologies, that seeks to identify, strengthen and promote enterprises with social objectives and technological base that are creating solutions for a new, more digital and inclusive reality for all Mexicans.

Context

CODES 2021 seeks to connect new technologies with old problems and shortcomings, and to create digital solutions that contribute to advancing towards a more inclusive society, thus helping to diminish the social and economic gaps in Mexico. CODES arises in the face of the severe consequences that the COVID-19 pandemic has generated around the world, and where, in Mexico alone, the economic and social impacts are enormous.
