SWIT Research Group

The origin of SWIT Research Group can be traced back to August 2007. It began with a small group of researchers whose purpose was that of designing a model of wealth (W) creation for emerging countries supported by innovation and technology (IT). This purpose was translated into a research line that defined the first steps of SWIT. In August 2011, the Research Group’s objective evolved and focused on solving one of the most significant problems of our times: The social and environmental imbalance in developing and emerging economies, generated by the disproportionate growth and the industrialization caused by developed regions, due to their globalization strategies. The Mission and Purpose of SWIT Research Group We develop frameworks, methodologies, tools, and training programs that are based on disruptive innovation, sustainability, circular economy, and a systemic approach, recognizing and addressing the relevance of context. We promote these frameworks, methodologies, tools, and training programs for the transition to a sustainable economy in emerging economies where social conditions are unfavorable for the application of conventional models. Our purpose is to enable the creation of sustainable wealth, socially equitable and inclusive, democratic, and capable of regenerating regional natural resources.
