Universidad Politécnica de San Luis Potosí expands partnership with Osaka Metropolitan University

The Universidad Politécnica de San Luis Potosí (UPSLP) has broadened its strategic alliance with Japan’s Osaka Metropolitan University (OMU). The agreement covers joint applied‑research projects, technology innovation, a dual‑education model (COOP), and academic exchanges.

During a delegation visit to OMU’s Nakamozu campus, UPSLP rector Néstor Eduardo Garza Álvarez presented the COOP program, prompting interest in sending Japanese students to San Luis Potosí for internships. The partnership also includes the creation of an international applied‑research laboratory linking scientific, technological, and business capacities of both countries. UPSLP participated in an economic‑promotion seminar attended by more than 150 Japanese firms, positioning the university as a strategic source of specialized talent for global industry. The initiative aligns with Governor Ricardo Gallardo Cardona’s plan to link education with regional economic development.
