  • Petrochemical industry.
  • Market of Gas and oil products transportation.
  • Electric generation.
  • Electric commercialization.
  • Renewable and clean energy generation such as wind, solar, biomass, and hydraulic.

These markets and energetic reform itself require people prepared for the multiple spaces presented. Through the topics of this course, you will learn the energetic regulations in México, which will help you to understand the current scene and the future of energy markets, and its applications in the entrepreneurial activity in all the steps of the energy field. Similarly, you will be able to analyze the secondary regulations for the sector of oil, gas, electric energy, and all its chains of value, with the purpose of comparing energetic markets in transition and contrasting these with experience from mature markets from the world.

Taking this course will give you the unique opportunity to define entrepreneurial opportunities and design energy businesses in transition markets.
