ALÍATE connects postgraduate students with MiPyMEs (Mexican SMEs) to boost technological and innovation capacity. The model is adapted from Canada's MITACS ACCELERATE program, with FCCyT and FUMEC as co-deliverers and MITACS as an active partner. IMPORTANT — PAYMENT DIRECTION IS REVERSED: The SME pays MXN $25,000 per project to participate. ALÍATE is not a grant to companies; it is a service that SMEs purchase.
