The Industrial Biotechnology Engineering career is designed taking into account current and future growth needs regarding the use and exploitation of biological products, resources, and systems to obtain and apply solutions and alternatives using engineering and innovation tools. The study of this career is necessary due to the demand for natural, alternative, degradable products and, above all, specifically designed under globalized requirements. 

Guatemala is a country rich in biological resources and with a developed agribusiness, but with many possibilities for diversification, expansion and improvement. In addition, it has resources for the production of alternative energies without losing sight of the focus on caring for the environment to maintain its wealth and guarantee sustainability in the future. The production of biofuels, the proper use of waste, biological treatments and other technological innovations are a necessity.
