A small city located on the northeastern shore of the tranquil Lake Chapala, Ocotlan is one of many towns that provide young talent to supply the demands of the burgeoning tech hub in nearby Guadalajara.
Home to some 80,000 inhabitants, Ocotlan is about an hour’s drive from Guadalajara. It boasts several local colleges, including the private Ocotlan Technology Institute (ITO), the University of Inter-American Development (UNID), the Mexico Siglo XXI university center, and the public Cienega University Center (CUCIENEGA) campus run by the University of Guadalajara – as well as a high school run by the same institution.
