On January 20th the Tecnológico de Monterrey presented 19 of its technology projects which are looking for financing.
The development of these projects of high market potential is protected by patents. In some of the cases their prototypes are already sellable.
The projects range from a cooling system using solar energy to a project developing antimicrobial plastic packaging. Among the projects some of them already function as businesses. UltraEnerTech, for example, sells a convenient system for using solar energy. Inmetech developed a smart orthopedic cushion for wheel-chair use which prevents and heals pressure sores.
And last but not least there is Innovid: a project born in our Business Landscaping Department that commercializes the chia seed in nutraceutical products.
All these business projects were created with the help of the Campus Monterrey business incubator and with technologies of the Tecnológico de Monterrey.

Innovid started selling chia seeds as a nutritional supplement for fruit dishes or drinks.
The business now experiments with a hamburger that combines the chia seed with beef. According to Innovid, this would be the first “dejunkyfied” hamburger.
Enjoy Innovid and seed happiness!
