Advance in simplification of procedures

Claudia Sheinbaum reported that the Procedures Simplification Program, run by the Digital Transformation and Telecommunications Agency (ATDT), has registered a progress of 60 percent. So far, 1,711 procedures have been eliminated and 3,497 have been simplified, with the goal of intervening 4,500 by 2026.

“Technology is there to make people’s lives easier and to avoid corruption,” said the president during the morning conference.

José Antonio Peña Merino, head of the ATDT, described this as the largest simplification in the country. Requirements were reduced from six to two on average. The gob.mx portal has been used by 56 million people, with two million weekly visits. The 24/7 window, a virtual assistant with AI, records almost two million interactions.

Llave Mx has 28 million accounts and one million uses per week, integrating 242 systems. The National Civil Registry Platform digitized 80 percent of its services; 18.2 million users already carry out transactions online. Resolution times went from 20 to five days.

In the passport, applications were reduced from 21 to five procedures and the requirements from six to three, with a 50 percent drop in resolution time. Almost five million users have used the platform. The consulates also simplified their processes: from 72 to 37 procedures, and from six to two requirements, with five million users.

In investments, the Digital Window for Medium-sized Companies was created, integrated into 18 entities. Federal procedures must be resolved in a maximum of 90 business days; otherwise, they will be considered authorized. For investments in Wellness Centers, amounts greater than 2 billion pesos or strategic sectors, authorization is immediate.

In addition, the Single Window for Foreign Trade and the National Platform for Commercial Establishments were activated, available in 105 municipalities. The latter allows businesses to be opened immediately and online, reducing from seven licenses to six notices and one license.

IPN progress in the QS 2027 ranking

The National Polytechnic Institute was ranked among the three best-positioned public universities in Mexico, according to the 2027 edition of the QS World University Rankings, prepared by Quacquarelli Symonds.

The study places the IPN in the range 901–950 worldwide, within a universe of 1,507 classified institutions and more than 8,000 evaluated on a global scale. This reflects its presence on the international academic scene.

The institution highlighted that the result confirms its strategic role in higher education, science and technology, as well as sustained progress in academic quality and internationalization.

Key indicators

Among the main advances, the IPN reported improvements in the International Research Network and in the proportion of international students, with an increase of 33.33%. The ratio of students to faculty also increased by 20.58%.

The institute highlighted that the international scientific collaboration indicator showed a cumulative growth of 698% in three years. It attributed this achievement to the strengthening of its global academic ties and the institutional strategy led by its general director, Arturo Reyes Sandoval.
