Our Values

The well-being of those who are part of ITG is the principle on which our culture is built.

We are committed to adding value to society, driving its progress through technological innovation.

Honesty, trust, respect and an entrepreneurial attitude guide our conduct. Honesty, trust, respect and an entrepreneurial attitude guide our conduct. We encourage open dialogue, diversity of talent and teamwork to make ITG the common project in which to develop our best personal and professional version.

ITG’s Strategic Framework is based on the following principles:

  • To complete the evolution from an organization that develops projects to an organization that commercializes technologically advanced solutions in the market.
  • Market orientation and growth to the critical size that provides management efficiency and commercial capacity, and decreases dependence on Public Funds. ITG’s “critical” research should contribute to the evolutionary development of the commercial portfolio and should be largely guaranteed by sales.
  • Strengthen the institutional position and associated references in the market and in society, especially through new communication channels and socio-economic relations.
  • To achieve a strong, cohesive, highly qualified team of personnel, linked to the ITG project, in a framework that allows for maximum professional and personal development.

SDGs at ITG

Our activity contributes positively to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, an action plan in favor of people and the planet.
