Universidad Tecnológica de León

The Universidad Tecnológica de León began operating on September 26, 1995, with the opening of courses conducted by Mr. Vicente Fox Quesada, Constitutional Governor of the State of Guanajuato.

The UTL originated in the request that the León Business Council (organization that brings together ten business chambers of the State) made to Dr. Ernesto Zedillo Ponce de León, then head of the Ministry of Public Education, in which they expressed the need for a Center for Higher Education and Technological Professional Training, linked to the local productive apparatus: “For this reason and, having analyzed and evaluated the requirements that we need in the educational field in Guanajuato, we have detected the need to create an educational center that specializes in the professional training of middle management in companies. For this we have researched the different educational institutions and we have reached the conclusion that, due to its pedagogical model and also interaction with companies, the Technological University is the one that can best meet this need, felt in a large part of companies.
