Ebrard at the event of the 54 Years of the Entrepreneurs Club of Puebla, highlighted that the entity has a strategic location, first-class university infrastructure and a very sophisticated industrial base, characteristics necessary to attract investment from companies in the Middle East and India, places which he recently visited as part of a work tour.

Although Barbosa Huerta did not give more details about the interested companies, he did comment that he has already identified the land where both companies could settle, as well as the estimates of the public investment that would have to be made for their arrival.

The automotive sector is one of the most important for the economy of Puebla, since two large factories are installed in the state, one of Volkswagen de México and the other of Audi, both important generators of employment.
