Engine 1 · CANIETI Challenges

Real problems, turned into challenges.

A company, institution or organization presents a problem; CANIETI helps turn it into a well-structured challenge, and the Innovation Council defines who participates and under what rules. The other engine — the innovations that can solve them — lives in the CANIETI Innovation Radar.

I have a problem

Publish or share a challenge and find capabilities to solve it. You do not need to know what the solution is: you need to describe the problem well, its baseline and what would change if it were solved.

I have an innovation

Register your technology, product or capability and find challenges, partners and opportunities. Your card lives on the Innovation Radar, where the scouting for every challenge begins.

Both doors converge in the same ecosystem: CANIETI connects problems that need a solution with innovations that need opportunities.

Engine 1 · Ecosystem demand

Published challenges.

A challenge is a concrete, measurable question, with a visible status, baseline and expected result. Listed here are the public and anonymized challenges; restricted and confidential ones move through the same states without being exposed, and only the organizations authorized by the Innovation Council know about them.

From problem to scaling

How a challenge travels.

The CANIETI team helps turn the problem into a well-structured challenge; the Innovation Council decides whether it gets published, who is invited and under what rules. For the first projects, priority goes to pilots that can demonstrate results quickly.

Visible states of a challenge

Seeking solutions Evaluating solutions Preparing pilot Pilot in progress Evaluating results Scaling Implemented Closed

When each pilot concludes, five results are recorded: technical (does it work?), economic (does it generate savings, revenue or productivity?), social (does it benefit people?), environmental (does it improve, or stop harming, the environment?) and digital (does it reduce the digital divide?). The program's indicators live under impact and are published only when verifiable measurement exists.

Secrecy is part of the design

Four levels of confidentiality.

Many companies will not expose their real problems if doing so reveals weaknesses, processes or strategy to their competitors. That is why each challenge chooses how much to show — and the platform never assumes that everything is public.

N1

Public

The problem can be shown openly.

“We want to reduce water consumption in industrial processes.”

N2

Anonymized

The problem is published, not the company's identity.

“A manufacturing company in Jalisco needs to reduce water consumption by 25% at one stage of its process.”

N3

Restricted

Only previously authorized participants can access the expanded information: registration, validation, invitation, terms and confidentiality agreement.

N4

Confidential

The challenge is not publicly visible. CANIETI identifies potential solvers, and only authorized organizations know the information.

Public card

Challenge name, area, summary description, industry, expected result, KPI, approximate duration and status. Enough to know whether you can contribute.

Private file

Organization, contacts, technical information, internal processes, data, budget, constraints, architecture, business information, intellectual property and pilot details. Shared only with authorization and a signed agreement.

Governance belongs to the Innovation Council. The Council decides whether a challenge is published, who is invited, whether the call is open or closed, what information each participant sees, what remains confidential, when additional information is released, which proposals move forward and which participants reach the pilot stage. The platform does not assume that all challenges are public, or that any organization participates automatically.

Shared challenges

The Radar and the challenges make it possible to detect recurring problems: if, for example, twenty-five SMEs report collection problems or forty need to automate processes, CANIETI can pose a single challenge that carries the weight of all of them. “How do we solve a problem that today affects thirty Mexican companies?” is a far more attractive opportunity for startups, universities, funds and investors than thirty isolated problems.

CANIETI Innovation Match Day

Concept

Connection events focused on real compatibility, not on pitches: challenge → radar and scouting → shortlist → match → pilot. Conversations between actors who have a concrete possibility of working together. The format will be activated once the first validated challenges exist.

Whoever submits a challenge does not review hundreds of proposals

Scouting begins in the Radar.

Once a challenge is approved, CANIETI identifies potential solvers according to the Innovation Council's criteria. The first source of search is the Innovation Radar itself; from there, the search expands in layers.

Two doors, one ecosystem

A need can become a challenge.

An innovation can become a solution. Two projects can become a bigger solution. And a connection can become a new market opportunity.
