The Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education, Puebla Campus (in Spanish: Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, Campus Puebla) commonly shortened as Tecnológico de Monterrey, Campus Puebla or ITESM Campus Puebla, is a campus of the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education private university system in Puebla, Mexico.

It was built on 25 hectares (62 acres) donated by the state government of Puebla and delivers high school, undergraduate and graduate courses.[1] It is located in the fastest growing zone of the city, the Angelopolis Zone.

The high School has 3 different programs: the Bilingual,The Multicultural and the International Program, following the guidelines of the IB. The higher studies programs focus mainly in the Engineering and Natural Sciences Areas, although it has also a Business school. Currently, the campus enrolls about 5000 students, both undergraduate and postgraduate.

As with all of the ITESM campuses around Mexico, the University's mascots are the Borregos Salvajes. Its American Football team now competes in the Premier League of the CONADEIP. The football stadium they use is named "El Hoyo Azul" (The Blue Hole).

Due to the strong presence of Universities in Puebla City, this campus had to invest a lot of money to out stand as a great academic option. Its campus is one of the most modern of all the ITESM system campuses. It currently includes buildings for students, a technological park, as well as installations for the practice of various sports.

Its goal is to support the creation, development, and consolidation of companies with specific profiles and features. The Intermediate Technology Business Incubator Network focuses mainly on consulting, telecommunication, franchise development, software services, construction, agribusiness, and commercial companies, whose business model incorporates processes boasting innovative features. The Technology-Based Business Incubator Network drives the transformation of highly innovative ideas and projects into high value-added companies applying new knowledge in advanced sectors such as agrobiotechnology, biotechnology, information technology development, the pharmaceutical industry, biomedical engineering, energy, the aerospace industry, and the automotive industry. In addition, the Tecnológico de Monterrey has a Social Enterprise Incubator Network.

Business accelerators Business accelerators grow and offer international projection to small and medium-sized companies, both technology and innovation-based, with the aim of generating regional and national welfare and sustainability. They drive the transformation of companies with high market potential into new sustainable businesses in the biotechnology and health, design and manufacturing, information technology and telecommunications, and energy and sustainable development fields, to name a few.

Technology parks

Technology parks are sites conducive to capitalizing the knowledge generated at universities and transforming it into economic and social wealth, as well as into regional development. They are effective tools for knowledge transfer and for the creation and attraction of competitive enterprises.

Establishing and operating technology parks is a cornerstone of the innovation system of the Tecnológico de Monterrey’s R&D area. The following four models served as starting points for the establishment of these parks:

Parks for high value job development, enabling students and alumni to be employed in high value activities.

Centers for technology transfer and technology-based companies’ acceleration and landing, paving the way for the marketing and transfer of Tecnológico de Monterrey and regional technologies to national and international high value companies.

Centers for the research and establishment of technology-based companies positioning the Tecnológico de Monterrey internationally on the strength of these activities.

Innovation and technology parks, which will contribute to transforming the regional economy.

The Tecnologico de Monterrey’s role varies greatly in establishing and operating the aforementioned park models. While in some cases the institution develops the project from inception to delivery, in others, it performs an affiliate or consulting function.

Puebla's Technologic Park was recently opened. It formally started operations in January 2011.
