ABOUT US

how we started

Kolab was founded in 2019 as the innovation and entrepreneurship lab for Grupo Koval. This collaborative dream led us to create a business model based on the digital economy, centered around building communities that empower economic development and generate shared value.

We believe there is immense potential in our region, and we found in Hermosillo the ideal place for thriving communities that are vibrant, innovative, comprehensive, and sustainable. We integrate a culture of innovation, incorporating our values in every decision we make to drive our city into the global economy.
