Mexico. The national closing ceremony was held in Mexico City, following regional events in Veracruz, Jalisco and Nuevo León.
With the participation of more than 350 students from public institutions throughout the country, Samsung Mexico officially closed the 2024 edition of its Samsung Innovation Campus educational program, in an event held in its showroom in Mexico City.
The initiative is part of the company's commitment to train young people in key technological skills for their integration into the labor market. This year, the program focused on Artificial Intelligence and Leadership Skills, with a 150-hour diploma course —130 in AI and 20 in leadership—, taught in mixed mode for 18 weeks. The graduates received a certificate with curricular value that accredits the knowledge acquired.
The closing event was hosted by artist Daniela Magún, who accompanied the students with her energy and enthusiasm. Executives from Samsung Mexico also participated: Thomas Yun, president; Karen Goldberg, Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Director of Mobile Marketing; and Lorena De Lima, Senior Manager of Social Responsibility, who offered messages of recognition for the efforts of young people.

Thank you very much to all the students, partners and collaborators who made this 2024 edition a truly exceptional experience," said Thomas Yun, president of Samsung Mexico.
Representatives of the University of Monterrey (UDEM), an institution allied with the program, were also present. Isabella Navarro Grueter, vice-rector for Integral Training, and Patricio de la Garza, vice-rector for Academic Services and Liaison, attended as part of the academic delegation.

They all agreed on the need to continue promoting technological education in the country.
