INTRODUCTION: The Oaxaca DelegaOon (SMBBO) of the Mexican Society of Biotechnology and Bioengineering (SMBB), was officially established at the Universidad del Papaloapan on July 4, 2014. This significant event for the Biotechnology society and for the Oaxaca Biotechnology community was possible thanks to the generous support from the members of SMBB from different UniversiOes and OrganizaOons from the Papaloapan Region. One of the first duOes SMBBO was the organizaOon of the I General MeeOng on Biotechnology known as “I Biotechnology MeeOng organized by SMBBO” (I Biotech MeeOng SMBBO), at Universidad del Papaloapan, in Tuxtepec, Oaxaca, Mexico. The event was organized for the vast community of professors, scienOfic leaders, businessmen and entrepreneurs, graduated and post graduated students. Tuxtepec is a town located in the north part of the state of Oaxaca. Universidad del Papaloapan comprises two campus: Tuxtepec and Loma Bonita. Tuxtepec is the second most populous city of the Mexican state of Oaxaca and it is well connected with several regions in Oaxaca, Veracruz and Puebla states, which turns Tuxtepec into a strategic locaOon for the reunion of scienOst, student and businesspersons from both states.

In México, the biotechnology researches have had a major improvement, but it is needed to develop new biotechnology approaches and spread knowledge, specialty among students from rural and indigenous communiOes. As in the previous events organized by part of the members of the society, Biotechnology summit 2012 (BS12), 2014 (BS14) and 2016 (BS16), the I Biotechnology MeeOng of SMBBO was focused in the design, creaOon and sharing of novel Biotechnology ideas with the use of the resources available in order to increase the human quality of life. The number of aiendees (150) and research abstracts for oral/poster session (148) was more than expected. This is a true image of the importance of Biotechnology for the society, research and student community. This evidence is confirming the need of more meeOngs and acOviOes where Biotechnology is discussed and new ideas are created, and this is the driving force of our conformaOon as SMBBO.
