MEXICO CITY, Aug. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- In the framework of Expo Mexico Emprende, the Fundacion Mexico-Estados Unidos para la Ciencia (FUMEC – Mexico-U.S. Foundation for Science) is presenting an extensive portfolio of innovative Mexican companies, programs to support them, models to integrate service processes based on innovation and mechanisms to create space for interaction between investors, funds and Mexican companies to spur their own growth and, in general, Mexican economic development.
Mexico Emprende is a three-day event organized by the Secretary of Economy (SE) that will take place on August 19-21, and will bring together in one place at the same time innumerable government programs designed to help Mexicans become entrepreneurs and develop their own businesses.
