Baja California’s strategies to train talent in semiconductors highlighted

BAJA CALIFORNIA - During the “Connecting the Future, Transition and Digital Transformation Summit”, convened by the American Society in Mexico as part of its annual Convention and Honeywell, some of the strategies implemented by Baja California to train talent and allow young people to access better opportunities within the industry were highlighted.

The Secretary of Economy and Innovation of Baja California, Kurt Honold Morales, along with executives from Whirlpool LATAM, DOW Chemical Mexico and MEXICO 2, coordinated by Honeywell participated in the panel that explored sustainable nearshoring as a strategy for growth and innovation. 

The forum highlighted that as companies seek to optimize their supply chains, sustainable nearshoring presents itself as a powerful solution that combines efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Honold Morales said that Baja California is driving the transition process from international freight transportation to zero emissions, while working on recharging infrastructure. Training of operators and maintenance personnel is also needed, for which financial solutions are being designed with the support of NadBank.  

In his participation, Honold highlighted the work to promote electromobility, as well as infrastructure projects for competitiveness. 

The event brought together industry leaders and experts to explore the main trends and challenges in Mexico's business environment. Interactive panels and keynote presentations addressed critical topics such as digital transformation in industrial automation, business continuity in an uncertain world, and sustainable nearshoring strategies that are shaping the future of the global economy. 

During his participation Luis Ize Ludlow, CEO Honeywell Mexico welcomed the attendees and highlighted the importance of having the opportunity to explore together the challenges and opportunities that shape the future of the industry and the economy.

Ize Ludlow spoke of Honeywell's presence in the country for more than 90 years and the operations in Baja California, Chihuahua, San Luis Potosi, Nuevo Leon, and CDMX that have not only contributed to economic development, but have also made Mexico a key player in such critical sectors as aerospace, industrial automation, energy and sustainability.
