The Tec was invited to participate in the following sessions:

  • Global University Leaders Forum
  • Reskilling Revolution Champions
  • Global Collaboration Village Science Campus

“Receiving this invitation is an honor (...) allowing us to make a greater impact to the benefit of society,” David Garza, Rector and Executive President of the Tec.

 

What’s more, Garza will also attend sessions on subjects connected with technology, the future of work, and skills for the future.
