Puebla Seeks 15 Investment Projects
Following the creation of the Regional Foreign Trade Council to attract investment to Puebla, the Employers' Confederation of the Mexican Republic (Coparmex) plans to attract at least 15 investment projects over the next year, its president, Beatriz Camacho Ruiz, announced.
She said opportunities to attract projects lie within global value chains, making it necessary to strengthen the strategy for positioning Puebla as a logistics and industrial hub, while also aligning efforts with public policies and international agreements.
She added that an agreement with the National Chamber of the Manufacturing Industry (Canacintra) will strengthen investment promotion efforts aimed at boosting Puebla's exports and competitiveness in global markets.
For this reason, the creation of a State Competitiveness Plan is important to establish cross-cutting priorities that can drive economic growth by strengthening industrial value chains.
She noted that the plan will help guide investment toward key sectors such as advanced manufacturing, agribusiness, semiconductors, and mobility.
She also highlighted that the Development Hub, now known as the Capital of Technology and Sustainability, provides additional opportunities to attract investment projects.
Camacho Ruiz emphasized the importance of securing new investments next year and said Puebla should be promoted as a strategic hub for companies operating throughout Mexico. She added that the Investment Promotion Committee must build investor confidence while promoting a people-centered economy.
The initiative also seeks to reduce Puebla's economic dependence on a single sector by attracting investment to industries including food, plastics, manufacturing, creative industries, and design.
