“We have 18 parks, the Bajío has 146 between Guanajuato, San Luis Potosí, Querétaro y Aguascalientes. We don't have enough”, assured Espinosa, He also assured that the growth that has occurred in this sector has not been adequate for several years. so the market needs to detonate these areas where the parks can be installed.

Puebla has a privileged location in the center of the country, and connectivity is a plus point, since it has highways such as the Siglo XXI highway and the Arco Norte, the president highlighted.

The main reason for this increase in demand, he reported, will be nearshoring and the Free Trade Agreement (T-MEC). Espinoza Rueda affirmed that the entity has the conditions to attend nearshoring, since it can take advantage of the connectivity that the trans-isthmic will generate due to its connectivity with the two coasts of Mexico.

In addition, he argued that, unlike other states, in Puebla there is a skilled workforce and a large number of universities. "Even, the standard of living in the metropolitan area is lower cost and better than in other entities that seek to develop this scheme," he concluded.
