DETEC, a Monterrey, Mexico-based engineering and technology firm, has been awarded the prestigious Trilateral Innovation Excellence Award at the Born Global Summit & Awards, held in conjunction with SXSW in Austin, Texas. The award recognizes DETEC as a Born Global innovator that facilitates cross-border collaboration between Mexico, the United States, and Canada, highlighting the company's growing influence as a tri-national organization with operations in Monterrey, Austin, and Toronto.
According to Pedro Noriega, CEO of DETEC, 'This award is a validation that we are on the right track. What we have been building for the last decade or so, taking a step further beyond borders and promoting international collaboration, is starting to become a reality, and we believe we have tremendous potential on a global scale.' The award underscores DETEC's role in telecommunications, engineering, and technology development as a model of international cooperation.
During the ceremony, Humberto Hernández Haddad, Consul General of Mexico in Austin, acknowledged DETEC as a quintessential example of successful trilateral cooperation, noting that 'companies like DETEC are opening new ground for collaboration. They are facilitating the exchange of knowledge, capital, and talent on a global scale to help shape the future of innovation in various sectors, including telecommunications, biomedical services, and many other fields.'
DETEC's tri-national structure includes partnerships with US-based Tech Ranch, a technology business incubator in Austin, and Canadian collaborators in Toronto. The company's work on telecommunications solutions utilizing Qualcomm technology is a key initiative, with plans to manufacture a 5G cellular phone module within the United States—a major milestone. As a Mexican-founded company entering the global marketplace, DETEC positions itself as a representative of Latin American innovation on the global stage. Noriega encouraged other founders to 'think global. Be borderless. Mexico has a clear path forward as a leader in innovation and economic development, and we want to inspire others to take that step.'
The Born Global Summit & Awards at SXSW convenes influential entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers to discuss the future of international business and innovation.
