They are a binational non-profit organization created in 1993, in the context of the negotiations of the Free Trade Agreement. Their mission is to promote binational collaboration in science and technology, in order to contribute to the solution of problems and encourage economic development in both Mexico and the United States, based on international best practices to achieve this goal.

ORIGIN

The North American Congressman George E. Brown, Jr. played a key role in the conformation and consolidation of FUMEC. As Chairman of the Committee of Science and Technology of the House of Representatives of the United States, Brown defended the need to strengthen the binational exchange in these areas and did work in the United States that allowed to obtain an initial contribution of about 11 million dollars to integrate, with an equivalent contribution from the Mexican side, the Patrimonial Support Fund of FUMEC, which was an exceptional event within the support that the two governments grant to nongovernmental organizations. 

Congressman Brown was a tireless promoter of science and technology. He left an important legacy that was reflected in improvements to science and technology programs in the United States, highlighting the collaboration with other countries in this field. 

Continuing with the spirit of collaboration that distinguished the work of Congressman George E. Brown, Jr., FUMEC seeks to be an articulating body of binational efforts, through the identification of opportunities, the creation of synergies, the integration of programs with objectives of binational interest. and the search for results in the areas in which he works.
