EDOMEX Boosts Foreign Investment
State of Mexico is expected to soon reach US$20 billion in cumulative foreign investment under the current administration, said Laura Teresa González Hernández, head of the state’s Secretariat of Economic Development (Sedeco).
Officials expect the pace of capital inflows to remain strong throughout the final quarter of the year, a period in which sales traditionally increase considerably due to the peak shopping season.
She noted that retail, services, logistics, construction, and manufacturing are among the sectors that have continued to grow in the state throughout 2026.
To attract new projects, González Hernández explained that Sedeco’s investment attraction program directly approaches companies that could potentially be interested in establishing operations in the state. A dedicated team is responsible for identifying and contacting these potential investors.
Regarding international outreach, she explained that Sedeco works in coordination with embassies, binational chambers of commerce, and international organizations to establish ties with potential investors.
The strategy also involves coordination with Mexico’s federal Ministry of Economy to identify investment opportunities in sectors considered strategic.
Among the countries with which the state is seeking to strengthen relations, González Hernández highlighted the United States and Canada in North America; France, Germany, and Spain in Europe; and the Netherlands. In Asia, she emphasized Japan and South Korea, along with progress in strengthening ties with Taiwan.
