Currently, 451,000 Mexican students are enrolled in full-time undergraduate programs. The Mexican students benefit from high-tech equipment and materials, which are similar to their US counterparts. Many of these engineers graduate knowing how to use the latest software development platforms such as JEE and speak fluent English.

The Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM) is the best example of high education standard for IT people.

It is at the hub of Mexico's most ambitious push to forge government, business and university partnerships that can generate new companies, based not on natural resources but on cutting-edge technologies. "ITESM" is perhaps Latin America's premier business and engineering school. A central link in this effort, which is supported by $1 billion of annual federal spending on scientific and technological research and focused on building up Ciudad del Conocimiento (Knowledge City) mandated to germinate new business clusters in biotechnology and information technologies.

The prestige that Tecnológico de Monterrey attained from the start, not only for its academic standards but also for the culture of entrepreneurship, hard work, efficiency and responsibility it seeks to instill in its students, has motivated alumni from different regions of the country to promote the establishment of Tecnológico de Monterrey campuses in their home cities.

More than 80.00% of Legosoft employees including its founder come from this prestigious university.

Due to the enormous potential that Mexico has to develop in the information technology industry, the Ministry of the Economy, in coordination with management entities and the sector enterprises, designed the Program for the Software Industry Development (PROSOFT). The objective of (PROSOFT) is to stimulate the software industry and to expand the information technologies in Mexico.

More recently, president Felipe Calderon offered an additional 65 million dollars to promote the development of Mexican software companies.
