FABRICUM PUCP

What FABRICUM PUCP does

FABRICUM PUCP is the Centro de Vinculación de Ingeniería (Engineering Linkage Center) of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, operating for more than 20 years from PUCP's San Miguel campus in Lima. The unit functions as the commercial and applied-research interface between the PUCP Engineering Department and external demand, channeling the department's 35+ research groups, 77+ researchers, 15+ patents and innovations, and 200+ laboratory tests into continuing education, technology services, consulting, and customized corporate training. It does not sell a software product; instead, it monetizes a portfolio of educational programs and applied engineering services delivered in-person at the PUCP campus, on client sites, and increasingly via virtual formats.

Its core offerings span diploma and specialization programs (notably the BIM Hospital Design specialization and the green hydrogen Diplomatura developed with H2 Perú), individual courses and webinars across 15+ technical areas (robotics/ROS 2, AI, cybersecurity, AWS cloud, supply chain analytics with Python, 3D printing and photogrammetry), ISO 9001-aligned training, summer technology workshops for school students aged 11–17, and an on-site corporate training practice exemplified by an 18-hour Lean/A3 Supply Chain program delivered to Alicorp. Technology depth is broad but applied rather than proprietary: industrial robotics with ROS 2 and 3D LIDAR, BIM 7D for hospital infrastructure, laser scanning and photogrammetry for heritage preservation, Python-based supply chain analytics, and AI tools covering generative AI, computer vision, NLP, and WhatsApp-based agent prototypes.

Revenue is generated through four streams: subscription/recurring continuing education and professional development, transaction-fee laboratory testing, professional-services technology consulting, and customized corporate training delivered on a professional-services basis. The customer base is horizontally segmented across working professionals and adult learners, enterprises (manufacturing, healthcare, construction, energy, telecoms, logistics), government entities (MINSA, PRONIS, ESSALUD, ANIN), and a secondary-school youth segment. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct outreach, webinars, email, events, and the PUCP institutional network, with Coursera added in June 2026 as a first global online distribution channel. The unit is a non-profit organizational component of PUCP (legal entity RUC 20155945860), with no external equity ownership, funding rounds, M&A, or disclosed revenue.
