To strengthen the education of university students in strategic sectors such as semiconductors, electromobility, and sustainable energy, and within the framework of the Sonora Sustainable Energy Plan, Governor Alfonso Durazo Montaño led the launch of the call for the second generation of the student mobility program in Taiwan.

Before university presidents and students aspiring to participate in the exchange, the governor explained that for this new edition, 30 engineering students from Sonora will be selected to complete a 10-month academic stay at universities in Taiwan.

“Anyone who puts in the necessary effort will have the opportunity to be part of this extraordinary program. My vision is that those who go there establish connections with companies that will make them their ambassadors here in Sonora, so they serve as a bridge to attract Taiwanese investment to the state,” he emphasized.

Danitza Leyva, one of the five women in the first generation of the program, shared her experience in Taiwan.

“I study mechatronics engineering, so this exchange is focused on semiconductors, electromobility, and automation. I have been involved in the development, manufacturing, and operation of these processes. Thanks to the governor, who promoted this plan, we are here working to take a huge leap forward and help Sonora grow,” she said.

Meanwhile, Francisco Acuña Méndez, President of the Sonora Council for Sustainable Development (CODESO), explained that this program will allow participants to specialize, acquire knowledge, and develop key skills in the fundamental areas of the Sonora Plan for human capital: electromobility, automation, and semiconductors.

The selection of the 30 students will be based on their technical profile, English proficiency, and academic performance.
