Ordenan a Conahcyt entregar información

The National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI) ordered the National Council of Science and Technology (Conahcyt) to disclose the public versions of technical reports on key technological developments for health, demonstrating that general information is subject to public access and only industrial secrets should remain restricted. This decision corrects the institutional omission and rejects the claim that the documents do not exist, by confirming that these reports are listed in the official records of beneficiary taxpayers. The transparency of these studies is essential to ensure accountability regarding the suitability of companies that received tax incentives for research. By allowing verification of regulatory compliance in the selection of projects, public trust is strengthened and it is ensured that private investment in technology responds to priority social objectives. This case is relevant to the open data movement because it establishes a vital precedent on how to balance the protection of intellectual property with the right to information. It requires public institutions to publish structured and verifiable data, demonstrating that transparency does not hinder but rather legitimizes the management of state funds and national technological development.
