Outstanding institution in the use of technology services

Since technology is our backbone and the origin of our Corporation, we recognize the efforts of the institutions that promote its use and advancement in the country every day. Our nominees have highlighted the use of CEDIA 's technological services to strengthen their institutions and foster the growth of their members.

Salesian Polytechnic University (UPS)

Outstanding institution in the use of research services

A few years ago, having internationally recognized researchers was a utopia. As an organization, it is part of our mission and main objectives to create spaces that support research professors in their work through competitive funding opportunities, mentorships, and other benefits so that research results can be presented internationally. In this category, we award the institution that has best utilized the benefits provided by CEDIA for research, achieving nationally and internationally recognized results.
