A global push from the local level
These investments are part of a comprehensive strategy to attract capital that prioritizes technological innovation, sustainability in production processes, and the training of local talent so they can compete in a global environment. Furthermore, these new projects are expected to contribute to greater integration of local suppliers into international value chains, as well as boost economic development in regions that have traditionally been outside the main industrial hubs of the Bajío region.
