Coordinated work between the public and private sectors is key to promoting the energy transition and a sustainable future. It is for this reason, and under the framework of the implementation of a Technological Innovation Hub in the field of sustainable energy in the state of Queretaro, that the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) took place between the GIZ through the Project “Enhancing the Coherence of Climate and Energy Policies in Mexico” (CONECC) with the Bello, Gallardo, Bonequi and Garcí law firm (BGBG Abogados).

This MoU, framed within the GIZ DeveloPPP public-private cooperation program, seeks to promote renewable energies and energy efficiency measures within the framework of local climate action. Through a Program of Accompaniment and Legal Advice for Hub users, which will include startups, MSMEs, companies, entrepreneurs and academic institutions, the mechanisms for promoting technological innovation will be strengthened and the selected projects will be supported with legal mentoring. Further, the Hub will consolidate its legal constitution in the state of Queretaro.

This cooperation agreement between the public and private sector (iPPP) represents a platform for linking key actors within the innovation ecosystem of the state of Queretaro, with the aim of promoting a local energy transition and its impact on mitigating climate change. Collaboration will be sought to achieve this objective and it is expected that very soon the Technological Innovation Hub will be formally established as a civil association, strengthening the linking platforms of the Queretaro entrepreneurial community.
