The Bridge Accelerator is a highly specialized program in generating business connections and in preparing companies so they can expand their participation as suppliers for large industrial corporations. According to data from the Secretary of Innovation and Economic Development (SIDE) and the Employers' Confederation of the Mexican Republic (COPARMEX), only 2% of suppliers in the region are part of this manufacturing supply chain that generates about $39,000 million dollars annually. The Program was created in 2019 by Technology HUB (Juárez) and Pioneers 21 (El Paso), with major support from Microsoft TechSpark, Transtelco, Tecma, and SIDE, through the Axcel Foundation.
