The State of Chihuahua is taking significant steps towards fostering economic growth by attracting companies focused on sustainability. This initiative, led by Startup Chihuahua in collaboration with local government and business leaders, targets international enterprises in renewable energy, resource management, and urban sustainability. Ulises Fernández of the Innovation and Economic Development Secretariat highlights the progress made through these collaborative efforts, aiming to create an ecosystem that supports incoming companies with local collaboration, customer bases, and entrepreneurial support.
Businesses considering relocation to Chihuahua can benefit from access to capital investments, equity-free grants, and corporate sponsorship opportunities. Additionally, workforce development programs and networking with local industry leaders are part of the package designed to attract sustainability-focused enterprises. The strategic focus is on companies that can contribute to and expand the region's sustainability sector, leveraging Chihuahua's unique advantages.
Chihuahua City, strategically located along the Mexican border with the United States, offers an ideal setting for businesses looking into nearshoring. Its comprehensive transportation infrastructure, including air, road, and rail networks, along with a safe urban environment and a robust educational system, makes it a compelling choice. The collaboration with organizations such as Tech Ranch in Austin, Texas, underscores the commitment to building a prosperous business sector centered around sustainability. This initiative not only capitalizes on the region's geographic and infrastructural strengths but also on its supportive business environment to drive economic development.
